A Survival Analysis of Childhood Family History.

Fergusson, D. M.; And Others

Journal of Marriage and the Family, v47 n2 p287-95 May 1985

Studied the family history of preschool children (N=1,067). By 6 years, 16 percent of children born to two-parent families experienced a family breakdown. Findings suggest that, once children left the traditional two-parent family, there was a strong possibility they would be exposed to both marriage formation and breakdown. (BH)
