Parental mental health is a major predictor of children's mental health, and this is also observed in refugee populations.
“Previous research has shown that parental mental health is a major predictor of children’s mental health, and this is also observed in refugee populations (Bryant et al., 2018).”

The Introduction reports a significant association between parental PTSD and child mental difficulties in refugees, while noting that earlier evidence was mixed. The study’s discussion also links caregiver PTSD to poorer child mental health, chiefly through harsh parenting. These passages support an important association in refugee families, but not the broader claim that parental mental health generally is a major predictor of children’s mental health. (LLM, conf=0.82)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
