Abstract

We estimate health associations across generations using information on healthcare visits from administrative data for the entire Norwegian population. A parental mental health diagnosis is associated with a 9.3 percentage point (40%) higher probability of a mental health diagnosis of their adolescent child. Intensive margin physical and mental health associations are similar, and extended family estimates account for 42% of the intergenerational persistence. We also show that a policy targeting additional health resources for the young children of adults diagnosed with mental health conditions reduced the parent-child mental health association by 39%.

(打破)心理健康的代际传递

摘要:我们使用来自整个挪威人口的行政数据的医疗保健访问信息来估计跨代的健康关联。父母的心理健康诊断与青少年子女心理健康诊断的概率高9.3个百分点(40%)有关。密集的边缘生理和心理健康关联是相似的，而大家庭估计占代际持久性的42%。我们还表明，一项旨在为被诊断为精神健康状况的成年人的幼儿提供额外卫生资源的政策，使亲子精神健康协会减少了39%。
