Mental distress in mothers of pre-school children in inner London
Psychol Med.
1977 Nov.
Abstract
The level of mental 'distress' was assessed for a sample of mothers with pre-school children in Inner London. Fifty-two per cent of mothers had a moderate or severe distress problem in the 12 months prior to interview. Variables correlating with distress were identified and replicated in a second sample. Social class was not found to be related, and the question of the general relationship between social class and distress is considered.
