dc.description.notesUS study examined 62 women who had lived in a shelter for 6 months or more to see how they adjusted when they were back out in the community. Specifically it looked for maternal depression, maternal trauma and child behaviour problems. It found that child internalising (eg depression and anxiety) behaviour was related to maternal depression and direct abuse whereas externalising behaviour (eg aggression and acting out) was related to maternal depression and shelter programs. Nearly all women in study were living free of violence but 40% of them and a quarter of their children had clinical levels of distress. Those who stayed in the shelter longer term seem to have benefited more than those who just had emergency stays – ie they exhibited less externalising and internalising behaviours. Although they were nearly all living without violence the women and children in the study displayed high levels of distress.en
