Reliability, validity and responsiveness of the short form-36 health survey: Findings from the women's health study of Accra, Ghana

“…Evaluation of inter-scale correlations helped to demonstrate that each scale measures a distinct concept of health. This reinforces the multi-dimensional nature of health (Macran, Clarke, Joshi, 1996;Wynia et al, 2009).…”

Socioeconomic situation and health outcomes of single parents

“…It was particularly noticeable that 24.7% of lone mothers had indications of mental disorders more than twice as often as married mothers. Further investigations that were carried out in Germany, England, Canada, The Netherlands, Australia and Sweden jointly and extensively confirm these findings (Butterworth 2004;Curtis and Phipps 2004;Baker et al 2002;Siahpush et al 2002;Lahelma et al 2002;Weitoft et al 2002;Weitoft et al 2003;Bijl and Ravelli 2000;Ringbäck Weitoft et al 2000;Whitehead et al 2000;Khlat et al 2000;Shouls et al 1999;Baker and North 1999;Lipman et al 1997;Macran et al 1996).

“…In comparison to households with married couples with children, current investigations of lone parents' living situation unanimously point to the poor economic situation of lone parent households (Lehmann and Wirtz 2004;Nolte et al 2004;Green 2004;Statistisches Bundesamt 2004b;Baker et al 2002;Bernstein 2001;Khlat et al 2000;Shouls et al 1999;Lipman et al 1997;Benzeval 1998;Macran et al 1996). A high social welfare rate and low net household income are named as indicators for this.…”
