Day KL, et al. – The specialists wished to figure out whether overprotective parenting mediates links between extremely low birth weight (ELBW) birth status and psychiatric disorders in adulthood. They illustrated that overprotective parenting accounted for a substantial proportion of the increased risk for anxiety and alcohol or substance use disorders in adulthood in ELBW survivors. Hence, it was essential that the parents of ELBW survivors be supported in their attempts to facilitate their children's pursuit of independence during childhood and beyond.
