Associations between caregiver mental health and young children's behaviour in a rural Kenyan sample.

Conclusion: Anxiety and stress were associated with poorer child behavioural outcomes. Our sample reflected a higher prevalence of caregiving adults with mental health symptomology than previous estimates from Kenya, with few high-symptom caregivers seeking support. We discuss further implications for programming and health services delivery. PMID: 33397222 [PubMed - in process]
