Moving Isn't Great for Kids

The video discusses a study from the American Journal of Preventive Medicine on the effects of childhood residential mobility on adverse outcomes in early to middle age. The study, conducted in Denmark, followed 1.5 million individuals from their 15th birthdays to their early forties, examining the impact of residential moves on mental health, substance abuse, and criminality. The findings suggest that frequent moves are associated with negative outcomes, particularly when moves occur during mid-adolescence. The video also highlights the study's limitations and the need for additional support for children who experience frequent relocations.
