The socioeconomic, health, and family situation of parents of patients with substance use diagnosis: A descriptive registry study
Parents of patients with substance use diagnosis face more challenges than other parents across life domains, including weaker labour market attachment, greater dependence on benefits, more mental health-related consultations, and higher overall healthcare use. Large discrepancies in disability pension and sickness absence, but modest in overall healthcare utilisation, suggest potential underutilisation of healthcare services.
