Lowering the Minimum Age of Criminal Responsibility
Does group-based parent support during the transition to parenthood affect child socio-emotional problems and health care utilization? A randomized controlled trial
As government-funded universal programs for new parents continue to expand, it is critical to investigate their short- and longer-term effects. The level of knowledge, especially on the effect of group-based interventions, is sparse. This study is the second report from a large trial of a widely implemented universal group-based parenting program in Denmark and includes outcomes on child socio-emotional problems and use of health services. A samp…
The Influence of Depressive Symptoms on Parenting
Limited research exists on dyadic spillover and crossover processes in parenting when depressive symptoms occur. This study examined both direct actor and partner effects from parents' prenatal depressive symptoms to parenting 19 months postpartum and effects mediated via the parent's own depressive symptoms 10 months postpartum. The Actor-Partner Interdependence Mediation Model was applied to a sample of 534 couples participating in a randomized…
Spillover Effects of Early-Life Medical Interventions
We investigate the effects of early-life medical treatments on the treated children and their families. We use a regression discontinuity design that exploits changes in medical treatments across the very low birth weight (VLBW) cutoff. Using administrative data from Denmark, we establish that VLBW children have better health and higher test scores. We find that these benefits spill over to other family members: mothers enjoy better mental health…
Group-based parent support during the transition to parenthood
Sibling Spillovers
It is notoriously difficult to identify peer effects within the family. Using administrative data on children from both Florida and Denmark, the paper examines the effects of having a disabled younger sibling. To address the identification challenge, the paper compares the differential effects for first- and second-born children in three-plus-child families, taking advantage of the fact that birth order influences the amount of time that a child …
Are Health Visitors’ Observations of Early Parent-Infant Interactions Reliable? A Cross-Sectional Design
Health visitors need competences to promote healthy early parent–infant relationships. The aims of this study were to explore whether there are differences between groups of health visitors with and without additional parenting program education in terms of their knowledge of infant–parent interaction and their observation and assessment skills of such interactions. The cross-sectional study included 36 health visitors’ certified Marte Meo therap…
School Starting Age and The Crime‐Age Profile
This article uses register‐based data to investigate the effects of school starting age on crime. Through this, we provide insights into the determinants of crime‐age profiles. We exploit that Danish children typically start first grade in the calendar year they turn seven, which gives rise to a discontinuity in school starting age for children born around new year. Our analysis speaks against a simple invariant crime‐age profile as is popular in…
