Mediators of the longitudinal relationship between childhood adversity and late adolescent psychopathology

CONCLUSIONS: Parent-child conflict explains more than a third of the relationship between CA and later psychopathology. Self-concept and physical activity explain the additional proportion of the relationship between CA and internalizing problems. This suggests that these factors may be good targets for intervention in young people who have experienced CA to prevent subsequent psychopathology.PMID:33653424 | DOI:10.1017/S0033291721000477
