Longitudinal athways from cumulative contextual risk at birth to school functioning in adolescence:analysis of mediation effects and gender moderation
Abstract Children and adolescents exposed to multiple contextual risks are more likely to have academic difficulties and externalizing behavior problems than those who experience fewer risks. This study used data from the Northern Finland Birth Cohort 1986 (a population-based study; N = 6961; 51 % f...
