The relationship between risk factors and behavioral and emotional disorder was examined in 792 11-year-old children. Background characteristics such as sex, maternal depression, marital status of the parents, and reading problems distinguished between children with and without disorder. It also appeared that disorder was related to the number of risk factors experienced. This study, like others, failed to provide strong support for differences in background characteristics among children with different diagnoses. This may reflect the degree of overlap among disorders, because even children with only a single disorder may not be entirely free of the symptomatology of other disorders. For this reason it is important to assess children for multiple disorders or at least consider impaired functioning in other dimensions.
对792名11岁儿童的风险因素与行为及情绪障碍之间的关系进行了研究。性别、母亲抑郁、父母婚姻状况以及阅读问题等背景特征可区分出有障碍和无障碍的儿童。似乎障碍也与经历的风险因素数量有关。与其他研究一样，本研究未能有力支持不同诊断的儿童在背景特征上存在差异。这可能反映了障碍之间的重叠程度，因为即使只有单一障碍的儿童也可能并非完全没有其他障碍的症状。因此，评估儿童是否患有多种障碍或至少考虑其他维度的功能受损情况非常重要。
