Neither the demographic characteristics of adolescents (age, gender, and race/ethnicity), nor the educational level of the parents varied by parental history of mental health problems. Adolescents with at least one affected parent were less likely to come from a household composed of both biological parents (30.4 vs. 42.2%, p = .03). Related to this, mothers and fathers with histories of mental health problems were less likely to live with the adolescent (79.6 vs. 87.8%, p = .05; 39.6 vs. 67.5%, p < .001) and affected fathers were less likely to be currently married (50.6 vs. 71.9% of unaffected fathers; p = .003).
