Gelles noted. "No

nomic situation of a
single parent, being
alone and having to fill
both parental roles for
their offspring can lead
to stress and eventually
violence and abuse"
The sheer exhaustion of
single mothers is often
coupled with emotional
strains of balancing
family and social activi¬
ties.

are biologically unre¬

children, have a several-

HEALTHWATCH
Chronic childhood illness can leave lasting scars
unapparent at first but showing up in adulthood,
a long term study discovered.
Following more than 5,000 persons from birth to
adulthood, British researchers found that chroni¬
cally phisically ill and healthy children academi¬
cally rated about the same. The two groups also
had the same delinquency rate.
However . by age 36, those who had suffered
with chronic childhood phisical disorders were
significantly less likely to own a home and had a
higher unemployment rate. Those persons whose
illness lasted until ages 21 to 25 were more likely
to have remained unmarried and have no chil¬
dren by age 36.
The condition of chronic childhood diseases
affected more than one in ten in the study
sample. Further research needs to be done to
examine what factors might improve these
sequelae of chronic illness during childhood.
