This study data from the National Child Development Study (NCDS) to track behaviourally disturbed children at 7 through to adolescence in order to assess the extent to which clusters of protective factors can off set the negative effects of clusters of risk factors. Behavioural measures at ages 7, 11 and 16 from NCDS were used to identify children with 'externalising' behaviour problems. Although individual protective factors were significantly associated with recovery in the bivariate analysis, their strength of the risk factors.

The objective of this study was to examine the behaviourial and emotional problems of former unaccompanied refugee children who had repatriated to Vietnam from refugee centers in Hong Kong and South East Asia. The children were compared with a matched sample of children who had never left Vietnam. The participants consisted of 455 Vietnamese children aged between 10 and 22 years; 238 of the children had formerly resided in refugee camps without their parents. The study showed that the perceived self-efficacy, number of social supports and experience of social support did not differ between the two groups of children. Further analysis showed that a significant interaction between the immigration status of the children and the children's subjective perception of their current standard living explained the differences in the YSR. The results suggest that the experience of living without parents in a refugee camp does not lead to increased behaviourial and emotional problems in the immediate years after repatriation.
