There is also an indication that children in one-parent families suffer more health problems in the home than children in two-parent families. However, the studies that have been reviewed provide neither detailed nor confirmed results and at present the character of child health in one-parent families remains uncertain.}, issn = {0035-8797}, URL = {https://bjgp.org/content/35/279/478}, eprint = {https://bjgp.org/content/35/279/478.full.pdf}, journal = {British Journal of General Practice} }
