Children who grow up in single-parent homes may be more vulnerable to mental and drug-related problems than those who live with both parents, according to study findings published in the January 25th issue of The Lancet.
Children who lived with only one parent had higher risks of psychiatric illness, substance abuse and suicide attempts, lead author Dr. Gunilla Ringback Weitoft, from the Swedish National Board of Health and Welfare in Stockholm, and colleagues note. However, despite the higher risk among these children, severe problems were still relatively rare, the authors note.
