The 2007 National Survey of Children's Health was used to determine the prevalence of poor mental health among U.S. mothers, fathers, and guardians, specific parenting experiences and children's functioning. More guardians (13.7%) reported poor mental health compared to mothers (7.7%) and fathers (5.3%), generalizing to 4.6 million U.S. caregivers with poor mental health. Caregivers with poor mental health were at least 3 times more likely to report children's problematic functioning after accounting for sociodemographic factors and parenting stress and experiences. Research and clinical activities should recognize poor caregiver mental health as a condition that affects parenting and children's functioning.
2007年全国儿童健康调查被用于确定美国母亲、父亲和监护人心理健康不佳的患病率、具体的育儿经历以及儿童的机能状况。与母亲（7.7%）和父亲（5.3%）相比，更多的监护人（13.7%）报告心理健康不佳，由此推断，美国有460万心理健康不佳的照料者。在考虑了社会人口统计学因素、育儿压力和经历后，心理健康不佳的照料者报告儿童机能出现问题的可能性至少高出3倍。研究和临床活动应认识到照料者心理健康不佳是一种影响育儿和儿童机能的状况。
