Resumo: The purpose of this study was to measure the prevalence of mental health problems in students in the fi rst cycle of elementary school and in their parents or guardians. Moreover,this study investigates the possible relationships between parental health problems and the mental health of children. A total of 321 parents or guardians of students from public schools in the town of São Carlos participated in this survey. Both the Strengths andDiffi culties Questionnaire, for the assessment of mental health of children, and the Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview, to measure parental emotional distress were used. The gathered data were analyzed by using the non-parametric Mann-Whitney. It was found that 43% of children scored above the clinical cut-off level on SDQ and 63% of parents or guardians had at least one mental disorder. The results also indicated signifi cant differences between the groups and thus the child had signifi cantly higher SDQ scores when his or her mother or father suffered some emotional distress. The study showed evidence of parental mental health issues as a risk factor for child mental health and indicates that there is a need for public policies and procedures for the prevention of mental disorders, promoting the mental health and psychological well- being of children and adults.

Foram participantes, 321 responsáveis por estudantes da rede municipal de ensino do município de São Carlos. Os instrumentos de medida utilizados foram: Questionário de Capacidades e Dificuldades, para a avaliação da saúde mental das crianças e Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview, para avaliar a presença de problemas de saúde mental nos responsáveis. Para a análise, aplicou-se o teste não paramétrico de Mann-Whitney. Verifi cou-se que 43% das crianças apresentaram escores clínicos no SDQ e 63% dosresponsáveis apresentaram pelo menos um transtorno mental. Os resultados também indicaram que a pontuação da criança no SDQ foi signifi cativamente maior quando o responsável apresentava algum transtorno mental Aponta-se que a vivência de problemas de saúde mental pelos responsáveis é um fator de risco para a saúde mental infantil e indica-se a necessidade de políticas públicas que considerem essa realidade e implementem ações de prevenção e promoção da saúde mental de crianças e adultos.Universidade de São Paulo.
