Oppositional defiant disorder in childhood is a predictor of later mood disorders. This study assessed whether groups of children can be identified by their course of co-occurring oppositional and depressive symptoms in childhood using group based trajectory modeling. Participants were a cohort of 932 4 or 5 year old offspring of women participating in the National Longitudinal Study of Youth whose symptom trajectories were modeled across ages 4–13 years. Three co-occurring trajectory groups were found: oppositional symptoms only (23%), oppositional symptoms preceding increasing depressive symptoms over time (16%) and absence of any symptoms (61%). Of all children who developed depressive symptoms, all had moderate or high levels of pre-existing oppositional symptoms. Oppositional symptoms typically precede, or co-occur with depressive symptoms in childhood.

In-depth interview data obtained in 1986 from 338 black and white mothers who had born children 6-7 years earlier when they were teenagers (14-19) reveal that such children tend to be impaired developmentally compared to children of older mothers. Since family support has frequently been proposed as a mediator of the stress that teen parents experience, data on the mothers gathered as part of the NLSY (1979-1986) are analyzed to investigate the role of family support factors and maternal characteristics in relation to children's developmental outcomes. Two models outlining the role of partner and grandmother family support are proposed to explain the process by which child development occurs within the family contexts of teen families. Implications of the results for intervention are discussed. [Sociological Abstracts, Inc.]
