“…Numerous studies have reported the extent to which family conflict is associated with negative outcomes, particularly among children and adolescents, including poor emotional development (Amir, 2017; Borst, 2015), greater physical symptomatology (Chen, Brody, & Miller, 2017), psychological distress (Constantine & Flores, 2006), problem behaviors (Cummings, Koss, & Davies, 2015), obesity (Frontini, Canavarro, & Moreira, 2018), chronic pain (Voerman, et al, 2015), substance abuse (Cano, et al, 2018; Foxcroft & Lowe, 1995), anxiety disorders (Priest & Denton, 2012), post‐traumatic stress disorder (Norris & Uhl, 1993) (North & Pfefferbaum, 2013), and depression (Cummings, Koss, & Davies, 2015; Essau, 2004). In general, children and adolescents exposed to increased family conflict carry a disproportionate burden of chronic disease into adulthood and report poorer health status and quality of life (Borst, 2015; Chen, Brody, & Miller, 2017; Driscoll, et al, 2015; Repetti, Taylor, & Seeman, 2002; Shonkoff, Boyce, & McEwen, 2009).…”
