This study involving more than 800 parents whose children have emotional disorders focuses on comparisons between parents who are members of support groups and those who are not. While no difference was found between members and non-members on most demographic variables, members reported needing and using more information and services and found each more difficult to locate than non-members. Thirty-one percent of all respondents identified involvement with other parents as the most helpful activity in coping with their child's problems.
这项研究涉及800多名子女患有情绪障碍的家长，重点是比较支持小组的成员家长和非成员家长。虽然在大多数人口统计学变量上，成员家长和非成员家长之间没有发现差异，但成员家长报告称，他们需要并使用更多的信息和服务，而且发现获取这些信息和服务比非成员家长更困难。在所有受访者中，31%的人认为与其他家长交流是应对孩子问题最有帮助的活动。
