Can Socioeconomic Status Moderate the Effect of a Conflictive Family Environment on Brain Structure and Externalising-Internalising Behaviour in Children and Adolescents?
Objective: This study examines the effects of socioeconomic status (SES) as a possible moderator of the effects of family conflict on externalising and internalising behaviours, and hippocampal and amygdala volumes.
Methods: A longitudinal complete-case analysis of 714 children and adolescents (mean age: 11.2 years; 46.2% females) was conducted using data from the Brazilian High-Risk Cohort Study for Psychiatric Disorders in Childhood (BHRC). At baseline, parents/guardians completed the Family Environment Scale and the Brazilian SES Questionnaire. Three years after baseline, the same participants underwent brain magnetic resonance imaging, and the Child Behaviour Checklist (CBCL) was administered. Automated segmentation of the amygdala and hippocampus was performed using FreeSurfer v.5.1 software.
Results: Family conflict at baseline predicted internalising and externalising behaviours at follow-up. Evidence regarding the effects of family conflict and SES on brain structure and the moderating effects of family conflict on psychopathology and brain outcomes conditioned on SES was lacking.
Conclusion: These results are consistent with emerging evidence that family conflict is a risk factor for externalising and internalising youth behaviour. These findings warrant further attention, focusing on prevention and intervention efforts and social policy development.
