"The findings of this analysis show that most of the associations between leaving school without qualifications and later mental health were explained by the common effects of childhood adversity (low maternal educational attainment, low family standard of living, single parent family type, parental history of criminal offending and substance use, low parental attachment, low educational aspirations by parents, and childhood exposure to family violence, regular/severe physical punishment and sexual abuse) on both outcomes." (from the Discussion).
