背景儿童由于受到伤害或发育受阻的风险或由于残疾而得到社会服务机构的照顾和支持。本研究旨在确定接受护理和支持的儿童所经历的逆境类型，并探讨社会人口学特征如何影响类型的差异。MethodsThis是一项2017/2018年英国威尔士“接受护理和支持的儿童”（N= 12792）的横断面研究。我们试图（1）研究的患病率家庭逆境的儿童在接受护理和支持的社会服务;（2）确定家庭逆境的类型学;（3）探讨家庭逆境的类型学如何不同的家庭特征（人口统计学，社会劣势的措施，围产期和护理因素）。四级解决方案提出了四种不同的逆境类别：儿童残疾（50.0%），低逆境（20.3%），家庭健康状况不佳（6.7%）和多种风险（23.0%）。儿童在“多重风险”类显着更有可能是年轻的，更多的剥夺和“照顾”的地方当局相比，那些在“低adversities”class.ConclusionsGiven存在不同的星座的家庭逆境，政策和干预措施，同时解决多个风险因素可能会更有效，并有更持久的好处。
BackgroundChildren receive care and support from social services due to the risk of harm or impeded development or because of disability. This study aimed to identify typologies of adversity experienced by children receiving care and support from social services and to explore how typologies differ by sociodemographic characteristics.MethodsThis is a cross‐sectional study of ‘Children Receiving Care and Support’ (N= 12 792) during 2017/2018 in Wales, UK. We sought to (1) examine the prevalence of household adversities experienced by children in receipt of care and support from social services; (2) identify typologies of household adversities; and (3) explore how typologies of household adversities differ by family characteristics (demographics, measures of social disadvantage, perinatal and care factors).ResultsWe found evidence for multiple risk factor constellations. The four‐class solution suggested four distinct classes of adversities: child disability (50.0%), low adversities (20.3%), family poor health (6.7%) and multiple risks (23.0%). Children in the ‘multiple risk’ class were significantly more likely to be younger, more deprived and ‘looked after’ by the local authority compared with those in the ‘low adversities’ class.ConclusionsGiven the presence of different constellations of household adversities, policies and interventions that address multiple risk factors simultaneously may be more effective and have longer‐lasting benefits.
