TY - JOUR T1 - Review of the health of children in one-parent families JF - The Journal of the Royal College of General Practitioners JO - J R Coll Gen Pract SP - 478 LP - 483 VL - 35 IS - 279 AU - A.J.

Sheldon Y1 - 1985/10/01 UR - http://bjgp.org/content/35/279/478.abstract N2 - The evidence from the few published studies concerning the physical health of children in one-parent families, suggests that these children have both a higher rate of hospitalization and a higher consulting rate with their general practitioner than two-parent children. 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. ER -
