Pilot study for the Quebec Child Mental Health Survey: Part II. Correlates of DSM-III-R criteria among six to 14 year olds.
A pilot study for a Quebec Child Mental Health Survey was completed in 1990 with 139 six to 14 year olds from the general population. The following variables, which were correlated with child psychopathology, were studied for each age group (six to 11 years, 12 to 14 years) and informant (parent, child): child's gender and stressful life events, respondent parent's psychiatric illness, family structure, parent-child relationships, parents' relationship, socioeconomic status, respondent parent's social desirability. Correlations obtained are consistent with those found in the literature. Correlations between the parent's mental health, parent-child relationships and the children's mental health are the most important results of the study.
