Parents of adults with developmental or mental health problems

What is it about?

This study examined the physical and mental well-being of parents of adults with developmental and / or mental health conditions across a 10-year span of time. Although these groups of parents may be at risk for diminished well-being into later life, findings were nuanced by age and gender differences.
