Multinomial regression revealed that lower levels sleep disturbance, less financial hardship, intolerance uncertainty predicted decreases compared with high group. Higher greater level social support, increases minimal-stable groups. Screening (i.e., depression), paired access evidence-based management those screen positive, is warranted first year reduce harmful effects unmanaged on families.
