“…The differences between the two studies might be explained by the design of our study (cross‐sectional vs. longitudinal and repeated measures design) and, most importantly by a different informant (a teacher report vs. a mother report) as a measure for outcome. An earlier study showed that, when maternal reports are used for both the determinant and the outcome measure, the associations were strongly inflated (Ringoot et al., ). Thus, when mothers report both picky eating and problem behavior of the child, any observed association of picky eating with behavior and emotional problems is prone to reporter bias.…”

Highlights Parental depression is associated with a variety of indicators of poorer quality parenting.  The established impact on parenting includes increased stress, negative behaviors and potentially a reduction in the quality of the parent-child relationship  Child developmental outcomes follow from both depression, parenting and their interaction.  Current treatments of depression have not yet been shown to reduce the impact of parental depression on parenting or child outcomes. Abstract:The impact of maternal depression on parenting is well established and there is a clear interaction between maternal depression and parenting that is predictive of child outcomes. The research on paternal depression is more limited but suggests the father's mental health may be an independent risk factor for both parenting and child outcomes. There is insufficient evidence that treatment of depression alone-be it through pharmacological or psychological interventions -is able to substantially reduce the impact of depression on child outcomes. The evidence of interventions aimed at parenting and/or child outcomes in the context of depression is limited and the findings that are available are mixed.

“…Beyond just an assessment/statistical nuance, mother-father discrepancy in these ratings may hinder accurate classification and treatment of child psychopathology (see De Los Reyes & Kazdin, 2005 for an overview). Understanding father-mother discrepancies in informant ratings of children’s internalizing symptoms in families in which one or both parents have substance use disorder (SUD) may be especially valuable given that children of substance-abusing parents have greater risk for both depression and anxiety as compared to peers (Bountress & Chassin, 2015; Hussong, Flora, Curran, Chassin, & Zucker, 2008; Ringoot et al, 2015). Further, both parent SUD and parent mental health problems may be associated with parents’ ability to accurately rate their children’s symptoms (Bingham, Loukas, Fitzgerald, & Zucker, 2003; Hennigan, O’Keefe, Noether, Rinehart, & Russel, 2006; Ringoot et al, 2015) and may impact discrepancy in parent ratings.…”

Parents’ Reports of Children’s Internalizing Symptoms: Associations with Parents’ Mental Health Symptoms and Substance Use Disorder

et al. 2017

This brief report examined the unique associations between parents’ ratings of child internalizing symptoms and their own depression and anxiety in families with parental substance use disorder (SUD). Further, we examined whether parental SUD (father only, mother only, both parents) was related to discrepancy in mothers’ and fathers’ reports of children’s internalizing symptoms. Participants were 97 triads (fathers, mothers) in which one or both parents met criteria for SUD. Polynomial regression analyses were conducted to examine whether father-mother reports of child internalizing symptoms had unique associations with parents’ own symptoms of depression and anxiety while controlling for child gender, child age, and SUD diagnoses. Controlling for fathers’ symptoms and other covariates, mothers experiencing more depression and anxiety symptoms reported more symptoms of child internalizing symptoms than did fathers. Mothers’ and fathers’ SUD was associated with higher anxiety symptoms among mothers after controlling for other variables. A second set of polynomial regressions examined whether father-mother reports of child internalizing symptoms had unique associations with parents’ SUD diagnoses while controlling for child gender and child age. After controlling for mothers’ symptoms and other covariates, parents’ reports of children’s internalizing symptoms were not significantly associated with either parent’s SUD or parental SUD interactions (i.e., both parents have SUD diagnoses). Taken together, mothers’ ratings of children’s internalizing symptoms may be accounted for, in part, by her reports of depression and anxiety symptoms.
