Findings 283 Characteristics associated with resilience in children at high risk of involvement in anti-social and other problem behaviour

The analysis presented here draws on a sample from the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children (ALSPAC) birth cohort to build on the existing literature. ALSPAC is a large study run by Bristol University following a cohort of children born to mothers living in Avon while pregnant in the early 1990s. This analysis is based on a sample of 6,553 children for whom there was data on anti-social behaviour at age 8 1 U from the overall ALSPAC sample. Individual and family-related characteristics associated with high risk and resilient children are examined and compared. These findings are based on data on the children up to the age of 8 1 U2.
