Childhood adversity and adolescent psychopathology: Evidence for mediation in a national longitudinal cohort study
The British Journal of Psychiatry Aug 14, 2019
Dhondt N, Healy C, Clarke M, et al. - Researchers sought for candidate mediators in the relationship between childhood adversity and psychopathology using data from the age 9 and 13 waves of the child-cohort of the Growing Up in Ireland study. Among participants, 28.2% reported childhood adversity, which was significantly related with internalizing and externalizing problems. Almost half the relationship between childhood adversity and persisting externalizing problems in adolescence, and a fifth of the relationship with persisting internalizing problems were identified to be related to the parent-child conflict. This emphasizes targeting parent–child conflict for interventions in childhood to prevent adolescent psychopathology.
