Who supports the adults who are trying to keep a difficult family conversation going?
The researchers examine family communication, support and resilience from a caregiver's viewpoint during adolescent illness.
Who was studied?
229 parents of adolescents diagnosed with major depressive disorder, predominantly mothers.
Age / stage: Adolescents with depression
Read with three questions
- How closely does a caregiver's resilience rating reflect the teenager's perspective?
- Which measures came from the same participant, and which had an independent source?
- How does the study distinguish one family member’s report from a shared account?
Keep the limits in view
A cross-sectional account measures variables in the same period. It cannot establish which came first; participants reporting more than one measure may also introduce shared reporting bias.
