“…First, disorders that involve externalizing behavior are more consistently associated with termination of schooling across the four milestones than are disorders that involve internalizing behaviors. Neither major depression nor generalized anxiety disorder were associated with subsequent termination of schooling at any of the milestones examined, consistent with the findings of several longitudinal studies (Fergusson et al, 2002;Johnson et al, 1999;Miech et al, 1999). Second, the association of mental disorders with termination of schooling is more consistent across disorders with respect to high school than with respect to any of the other milestones examined.…”

“…In particular, studies that examined the association of depression and anxiety disorders with subsequent school termination found either that the association does not exist when viewed prospectively (Johnson, Cohen, Dohrenwend, Link, & Brook, 1999) or that, where it exists, it is attributable entirely (Fergusson & Woodward, 2002;Miech, Caspi, Moffitt, Wright, & Silva, 1999) or in large part (McLeod & Kaiser, 2004;Woodward & Fergusson, 2001) to childhood adversities that precede the onset of disorders and are likely to have independent effects on educational attainment. On the other hand, studies examining impulse-control and substance use disorders have found associations with subsequent school termination that remain significant after accounting for childhood adversities.…”

ABSTRACT Mental Health and Education Decisions *Mental health problems -and depression in particular -have been rising internationally. The link between poor mental health and poor educational outcomes is particularly interesting in the case of the UK which has a low international ranking both on measures of child wellbeing and the probability of early drop-out from the labour market and education. We study this issue using a large longitudinal study of a recent cohort of teenagers in England. We use the General Health Questionnaire to derive measures of poor mental health. We find a large negative association between mental health problems and educational outcomes -where we consider examination results before leaving compulsory education and the probability of being "not in education, employment or training" at a young age. The association is large even after including a very rich set of controls. Results are stronger for girls and also vary according to the different components of the mental health measure. We also explore the potential role of intermediary mechanisms (truancy and risky behaviors). Executive summaryAlthough poor mental health has often been correlated with poor educational attainment and/or dropping out of education, there have been few longitudinal studies on this subject. In this paper, we investigate this issue using a recent longitudinal study of young people in England. England is a very interesting country to u...

“…The reports on the timing of abortions were analyzed with regard to consistency over the different reports and validated by means of population estimates. We were able to control for an unusually broad variety of factors, previously reported to be associated with later abortion risk, such as socio-demography, socio-economic and family factors [4,5], early-onset and previous conduct problems, substance use and substance use problems [5,6], educational and job careers [7,8], mental health and personality factors [9,10]. Special analyses addressed the possibility of reverse causality.…”
