A secondary analysis of data
from adult female prison inmates in the mid-Atlantic United States defined
relationships between having incarcerated adult family members during childhood
and neurological outcomes.
Of 135 inmates, 99 (60%) had one or more incarcerated
adult family members during childhood. Regression analyses revealed that having
incarcerated adult family members was related to greater frequency and severity
of childhood abuse and higher incidence of neurological deficits in adulthood,
especially related to traumatic brain injuries, compared to those without
incarcerated adult family members.
Along with being role models, adult family
members impact the neurological health of children throughout their lifespan.
