This study examined early external childcare in relation to development from age 7 to 20. A Swiss sample was used (N = 1,225; 52% male). Development included multi-informant-reported externalizing behavior, internalizing problems, prosocial behavior, delinquency, and substance use. Growth curve models revealed that, dependent on the informant, time in a daycare center was related to increased externalizing and internalizing problems until at least age 11. It was not related to delinquency. Roughly three days per week at a daycare mother or playgroup was related to increased externalizing behavior. External family care was associated with increased prosocial behavior. Finally, time in a daycare center was associated with fewer externalizing but more internalizing problems and substance use for children from vulnerable backgrounds. This relation with substance use lasted to age 20.
本研究考察了从 7 岁到 20 岁期间早期的外部儿童保育与发展的关系。使用了瑞士样本（N=1225；52%为男性）。发展包括多信息源报告的外化行为、内化问题、亲社会行为、犯罪和物质使用。增长曲线模型显示，根据信息源的不同，在日托中心的时间与外化和内化问题的增加有关，至少持续到 11 岁。它与犯罪无关。每周大约有三天在日托中心或游戏小组，与外化行为的增加有关。外部家庭照顾与亲社会行为的增加有关。最后，日托中心的时间与弱势背景下儿童的外化问题减少但内化问题和物质使用增加有关。这种与物质使用的关系持续到 20 岁。
