Primary carers completed the Development and Well-being Assessment, including a measure of parental distress (Everyday Feeling Questionnaire). Genetic diagnoses were broadly categorised into aneuploidy, chromosomal rearrangements, copy number variants (CNVs) and single nucleotide variants.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"S0007125020000380_sec_a4\" sec-type=\"results\"><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Compared with the UK general population, IMAGINE-ID parents (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic> = 888) reported significantly elevated emotional distress (Cohen's <jats:italic>d<\/jats:italic> = 0.546). Within-sample variation was related to recent life events and the perceived impact of children's difficulties. Impact was predicted by child age, physical disability, autistic characteristics and other behavioural difficulties. Genetic diagnosis also predicted impact, indirectly influencing parental well-being. Specifically, CNVs were associated with higher impact, not explained by CNV inheritance, neighbourhood deprivation or family structure.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"S0007125020000380_sec_a5\" sec-type=\"conclusions\"><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>The mental health of parents caring for a child with intellectual disability is influenced by child and family factors, converging on parental appraisal of impact. We found that genetic aetiologies, broadly categorised, also influence impact and thereby family risks. Recognition of these risk factors could improve access to support for parents, reduce their long-term mental health needs and improve well-being of individuals with intellectual disability.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1192\/bjp.2020.38","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,3,11]],"date-time":"2020-03-11T11:49:02Z","timestamp":1583927342000},"page":"315-322","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1017\/policypage","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":48,"title":["Childhood intellectual disability and parents' mental health: integrating social, psychological and genetic influences"],"prefix":"10.1192","volume":"218","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2986-0584","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Kate","family":"Baker","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3710-7878","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Rory T.","family":"Devine","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Elise","family":"Ng-Cordell","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"F.
