Abstract:
|
The literature on parental incarceration (PI) contains numerous reports of children experiencing negative effects as a result of their parent’s incarceration, but questions have arisen about their validity due to methodological limitations. Recent longitudinal studies show that prisoners’ children face numerous other risk factors but that PI still exerts a discrete effect on children after taking these into account. In this paper, we add to this research by exploring the impact of PI on the behavior of children considered at-risk because of exposure to parental substance abuse and concomitant environmental influences. Participants are part of a longitudinal study of 252 neonates and their mothers recruited at an urban hospital starting in 1990. The children and their caregivers have been followed at regular intervals since birth. Between birth and age 11, one-third of the children had a parent who had been incarcerated. We examine the effect of PI on children, controlling for demographic variables and pre-natal drug exposure. After control for fixed and time dependent covariates, repeated measures analyses indicate that prisoners’ children have significantly higher scores on the Child Behavior Checklist administered to guardians, although not on measures of various behaviors self-reported by the children at age 10. |
