Few studies have examined the effects of parental incarceration (PI) on outcomes above and beyond other risk and adverse childhood experiences (ACEs). The objectives of this study were to (1) the associations between PI and mental health problems ( and (2) the mediating role of current socioeconomic status and cumulative ACEs. An observational and cross-sectional design was employed. Analyses included hierarchical multivariable linear regression modeling. The analytic sample included 613 adolescents (11-17 years). On average, youth exposed to PI experienced three times as many ACEs compared with youth unexposed. Youth exposed to PI were more likely to have behavioral problems than their unexposed peers. The main effect for all models was attenuated by current economic hardship as well as exposure to increasing numbers of ACEs. Exposure to PI can be viewed as a marker of accumulative risk for intervention since youth impacted by PI are more likely to experience behavioral difficulties and associated adverse childhood experiences. Due to the associated adversity that impact youth exposed to PI, mental health providers need to be able to identify and screen for symptoms associated with trauma.
很少有研究考察过父母监禁（PI）对除其他风险和不良童年经历（ACEs）之外的结果的影响。本研究的目的是：（1）探讨PI与心理健康问题之间的关联；（2）研究当前社会经济地位和累积ACEs的中介作用。采用了观察性横断面设计。分析包括分层多变量线性回归建模。分析样本包括613名青少年（11至17岁）。平均而言，经历过PI的青少年所经历的ACEs是未经历过的青少年的三倍。与未经历过PI的同龄人相比，经历过PI的青少年更有可能出现行为问题。所有模型的主要效应都因当前的经济困难以及接触越来越多的ACEs而减弱。PI可被视为累积风险的一个指标，需要进行干预，因为受PI影响的青少年更有可能经历行为困难和相关的不良童年经历。由于PI对青少年产生的相关逆境，心理健康服务提供者需要能够识别和筛查与创伤相关的症状。
