      ab: A study was conducted to examine the rate of severe depression among women in single-parent and biological families and in a variety of stepfamilies. Data were collected from a community sample of 13,088 pregnant women in Britain. Findings indicated that, compared with women in biological families and published population rates, women in single-parent families and step-families reported significantly heightened rates of depression. Furthermore, it was found that family-type differences in depression were mediated partly by differences in social support, stressful life events, and crowding but that a main effect of family type in predicting depression remained after statistically controlling for these risks.
