Understanding the needs and experiences of parents with intellectual disability (ID) and their children is critical to ensuring that policies can effectively support these families. This research analyzed data from the Fragile Families and Child Wellbeing Study to examine the health outcomes of U.S. children whose mothers have (n = 263) and do not have ID (n = 1,298). Compared to mothers without ID, mothers with ID experienced worse outcomes related to socioeconomic status, limited support networks, and poor self-reported health. However, after controlling for sociodemographic characteristics, mother's intellectual disability was not associated with a child having fair or poor health, asthma, or being overweight or obese.
了解智障父母及其子女的需求和经历对于确保政策能够有效支持这些家庭至关重要。本研究分析了脆弱家庭与儿童福祉研究的数据，以考察母亲患有智障（n = 263）和未患智障（n = 1,298）的美国儿童的健康状况。与未患智障的母亲相比，患有智障的母亲在社会经济地位、支持网络有限以及自我报告的健康状况较差等方面的情况更糟。然而，在控制了社会人口学特征后，母亲的智障与孩子健康状况一般或较差、患哮喘或超重或肥胖并无关联。
