Abortion in young women and subsequent mental health / David M. FERGUSSON in Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 47-1 (January 2006)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry > 47-1 (January 2006) . - p.16–24 Titre : Abortion in young women and subsequent mental health Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : David M. FERGUSSON, Auteur ; John L. HORWOOD, Auteur ; Elizabeth M. RIDDER, Auteur Année de publication : 2006 Article en page(s) : p.16–24 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Abortion pregnancy mental-disorder depression anxiety suicidal-behaviour substance-dependence Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background: The extent to which abortion has harmful consequences for mental health remains controversial. We aimed to examine the linkages between having an abortion and mental health outcomes over the interval from age 15–25 years. Methods: Data were gathered as part of the Christchurch Health and Development Study, a 25-year longitudinal study of a birth cohort of New Zealand children. Information was obtained on: a) the history of pregnancy/abortion for female participants over the interval from 15–25 years; b) measures of DSM-IV mental disorders and suicidal behaviour over the intervals 15–18, 18–21 and 21–25 years; and c) childhood, family and related confounding factors. Results: Forty-one percent of women had become pregnant on at least one occasion prior to age 25, with 14.6% having an abortion. Those having an abortion had elevated rates of subsequent mental health problems including depression, anxiety, suicidal behaviours and substance use disorders. This association persisted after adjustment for confounding factors. Conclusions: The findings suggest that abortion in young women may be associated with increased risks of mental health problems.

Does adolescent self-esteem predict later life outcomes? A test of the causal role of self-esteem / Joseph M. BODEN in Development and Psychopathology, 20-1 (Winter 2008)  

Public ISBD [article]  inDevelopment and Psychopathology > 20-1 (Winter 2008) . - p.319-339 Titre : Does adolescent self-esteem predict later life outcomes? A test of the causal role of self-esteem Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Joseph M. BODEN, Auteur ; David M. FERGUSSON, Auteur ; John L. HORWOOD, Auteur Année de publication : 2008 Article en page(s) : p.319-339 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : This paper examines the relationship between self-esteem in adolescence and later mental health, substance use, and life and relationship outcomes in adulthood. The investigation analyzed data from a birth cohort of approximately 1,000 New Zealand young adults studied to the age of 25. Lower levels of self-esteem at age 15 were associated with greater risks of mental health problems, substance dependence, and lower levels of life and relationship satisfaction at ages 18, 21, and 25. Adjustment for potentially confounding factors reduced the strength of these associations to either moderate or statistically nonsignificant levels. It was concluded that the effects of self-esteem during adolescence on later developmental outcomes were weak, and largely explained by the psychosocial context within which self-esteem develops.

Early Conduct Problems and Later Life Opportunities / David M. FERGUSSON in Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 39-8 (November 1998)

Conduct problems at age 8 were assessed using a combination of parent and teacher reports of conduct disordered and oppositional behaviours. Two measures of life opportunities were assessed at age 18: (a) whether the young person had left school by age 18 without educational qualifications; (b) whether the young person had experienced a period of unemployment of 3 months or longer following school leaving. The analysis suggested the following conclusions: (1) There were clear and significant (p < .0001) tendencies for increasing levels of conduct problems at age 8 to be associated with increasing risks of leaving school without qualifications and of unemployment by age 18. (2) A substantial component of these associations was explained by a series of confounding social, family, and individual factors (notably child intelligence, early attentional problems, and family sociodemographic disadvantage) that were associated with both early conduct problems and later life opportunities. (3) Further analysis suggested that linkages between early conduct problems and later educational underattainment and unemployment (after adjustment for confounders) were mediated by a series of adolescent behavioural processes including patterns of peer affiliations, substance use, truancy, and problems with school authority.

Early motherhood and subsequent life outcomes / Joseph M. BODEN in Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 49-2 (February 2008)

The present study examined the extent to which these linkages could be explained by the influence of social, family, and background factors that were associated with early motherhood. Methods: Data were gathered as part of the Christchurch Health and Development Study, a 25-year longitudinal study of a birth cohort of New Zealand children. Information was obtained on: (a) the history of pregnancy and parenthood for female participants over the period 15–21 years; (b) measures of DSM-IV mental disorders and suicidal behaviour over the interval 21–25 years; (c) measures of educational achievement over the interval 21–25 years; (d) measures of welfare dependence, workforce participation, and income over the interval 21–25 years; and (e) childhood, family and related confounding factors. Results: Early motherhood was associated with higher levels of mental health disorders, lower levels of educational achievement, higher levels of welfare dependence, lower levels of workforce participation, and lower income. Control for confounding factors reduced the associations between early motherhood and later mental health disorders to statistical non-significance. However, the associations between early motherhood and later educational achievement and economic circumstances persisted after control for potentially confounding factors. Conclusions: The findings suggest that early motherhood puts young women at risk for educational underachievement and poorer economic circumstances. The linkages between early motherhood and later mental health difficulties can largely be accounted for by childhood, family, and related circumstances that occurred prior to parenthood.

Effects on Later Adjustment of Living in a Stepfamily During Childhood and Adolescence / Jan M. NICHOLSON in Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 40-3 (March 1999)

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry > 40-3 (March 1999) . - p.405-416 Titre : Effects on Later Adjustment of Living in a Stepfamily During Childhood and Adolescence Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Jan M.

HORWOOD, Auteur Année de publication : 1999 Article en page(s) : p.405-416 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Criminality  drug abuse  family factors  stepfamily  life opportunities  mental health Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : This paper examines the effects of living in a stepfamily during childhood and adolescence on a range of psychosocial outcomes at age 18 years. Data collected during an 18-year longitudinal study were used to examine a sample of 907 children with respect to: exposure to living in a stepfamily during the period from age 6 to 16 years; measures of psychosocial outcomes including mental health, antisocial behaviour, substance use, restricted life opportunities, and sexual risk-taking at age 18 years; and measures of prospectively collected confounding factors. The analyses revealed that children exposed to living in a stepfamily for the first time between ages 6–16 years had elevated risks of a range of psychosocial outcomes at 18 years. These included elevated risks of: (1) juvenile offending; (2) nicotine dependence; (3) abuse or dependence on illicit substances; (4) leaving school without qualifications; (5) early onset of sexual activity ; and (6) multiple sexual partners. However, these risks were reduced substantially when psychosocial outcomes were adjusted for the confounding effects of antecedent factors such as: family socioeconomic characteristics ; family history of instability, adversity, and conflict; mother's age, religiosity, and smoking; child gender; and preexisting child conduct and attentional problems. After adjustment, the odds ratios between exposure to a stepfamily and adolescent outcomes were nonsignificant. Additional analysis revealed that there were no significant differences in outcomes for boys and girls exposed to stepfamilies. It was concluded that although young people exposed to living in a stepfamily had increased risks of poor psychosocial outcomes, much of this association appeared to be spurious, and arose from confounding social, contextual, and individual factors that were present prior to the formation of the stepfamily.
