Maternal out-of-home care experience and offspring symptom development across domains: a latent profile analysis of a UK longitudinal population sample

CONCLUSION: Maternal OHC experience is associated with an elevated risk of offspring presenting adjustment problems, characterised by co-occurring internalising and externalising symptom trajectories. However, the impact of maternal OHC experience on their children’s adjustment was fully attenuated by other common etiological risks, suggesting that these factors play a critical role in mediating the risk.
