ABSTRACT

The aim of the study has been to examine the impact of diagnosed internalising and externalising behavioural problems on educational attainment. We used a fixed-effect model on rich individual longitudinal register data. The sample consisted of five full cohorts of adolescents (N=242,542). The analyses suggest that compared to their healthy peers, boys and girls with externalising problems have respectively 38 and 40 percentage points lower probability of completing upper secondary school. The comparable numbers for internalising problems are 29 percentage points for boys and 26 percentage points for girls. With regard to the likelihood of attending higher education, for those that completed secondary school, the results show a negative but much smaller impact of mental health disorders than the case was in the analysis of upper secondary school completion.

摘要

这项研究的目的是检验诊断出的内在化和外在化的行为问题对学历的影响。我们对丰富的个体纵向寄存器数据使用了固定效应模型。该样本由五个完整的青少年队列组成（N = 242,542）。分析表明，与健康的同龄人相比，具有外部化问题的男孩和女孩完成高中的概率分别降低了38和40个百分点。内部化问题的可比数字是男孩为29个百分点，女孩为26个百分点。关于接受高等教育的可能性，对于那些中学毕业的人，
