of 40 studies that investigated child outcomes when either parent was incarcerated found a significant association with antisocial behaviour (pooled OR = 1.6, 95 % CI 1.4 to 1.9) and poor educational performance (pooled OR = 1.4, 95 % CI 1.1 to 1.8).18 Other research indicates that children

For the parent report version
of the SDQ used in the current study, the new four - band classification system for total difficulties scores is as follows: 0 — 13 «close to average», 14 — 16 «slightly raised», 17 — 19 «high» and above 19 «very high».17 For the purposes
of analysis, we considered that all children with a total difficulties score below the threshold for high
risk of emotional or behavioural
problems (< 17) had «good» mental health.18 — 20 The SDQ has previously been found to be acceptable, 21 reliable and valid22 among the SEARCH cohort.
For example, some have found significant differences between children with divorced and continuously married parents even after controlling for personality traits such as depression and antisocial behavior in parents.59 Others have found higher rates
of problems among children with single parents, using statistical methods that adjust for unmeasured variables that, in principle, should include parents» personality traits as well as many genetic influences.60 And a few studies have found that the link between parental divorce and children's
problems is similar for adopted and biological children — a finding that can not be explained by genetic transmission.61 Another study, based on a large sample
of twins, found that growing up in a single - parent family predicted depression in adulthood even with genetic resemblance controlled statistically.62 Although some degree
of selection still may be operating, the weight
of the evidence strongly suggests that growing up without two biological parents in the home increases children's
risk of a variety
of cognitive,
emotional, and social
problems.
In keeping with other research, 30 children in foster care, who make up around 8 %
of the cohort, were found to be a particularly vulnerable group with almost half meeting criteria for high

problems shown later may be a consequence
of vulnerability deriving from a combination
of genetic
risks and seriously adverse experiences in early life.
