Child psych database?

Is there a database that gives stats on what parental inputs in childhood tend to produce which effects in adulthood? Of course, it's not as simple as that, but something on the order of findings that, say, "90% of all adults diagnosed with generalized anxiety disorder were, starting very young, repeatedly frightened by one or more parents" would be a good starting place.

Hello Levoneh: I'm sorry I don't know the answer to your question. Perhaps other members, here on PC, may have some suggestions they can share. My personal perspective would be that mental health is just too complicated to lend itself to this type of analysis. However I noticed this is your first post here on PC. So... welcome to PsychCentral! I hope you find PC to be of benefit.

Welcome to PC!

As you and Skeezyks have mentioned, the answer is not so simple, but you could start to learn some pieces by using the PubMed database.
PubMed - NCBI

This will only give you access to research abstracts, not usually the full articles which are important to read. You might be able to access the full articles for free with the help of your local library or university, as these institutions often have paid subscriptions to such things. Also, PubMed is just one of many databases. Others include MedLine, PsychInfo, etc.

Another thing to keep in mind is the search terms you use. A lot of the time you might have to read articles just to learn the terminology of the field. For example, if I wanted to find out about liver damage from Thorazine, I'd use the terms hepatic and chlorpromazine.

My last tips would be to keep in mind that correlations (usually denoted with the letter r) don't have the power to attribute causality, and that changes in methodology can make it difficult to compare studies.

each USA state keeps their own parental statistics/ demographics usually with department of human services (some locations call this social services, child protective services department) you might try there in your state.

department of health also keeps statistics where health / mental health statistics/ demographics are concerned.

your local mental health agencies may also have this information in regards to your state and location.

you can also find this information at your local library in the reference department in reports and books on state health statistics/ the national census reports and so on.
