The Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ) and General Health Questionnaire (GHQ) were used to measure the mental health of the students, their parents and the teacher in charge of the class, respectively. A total of 6173 students (72.73%) with full mental health information from all three caretakers were included in the final analysis.Results: We found a significantly elevated risk of mental health symptoms in children when their mothers (odds ratios (OR)=2.30, 95% CI=1.93– 2.73), fathers (OR=2.08, 95% CI=1.73– 2.50) and teachers (OR=1.18, 95% CI=1.01– 1.39) reported poorer mental health, and the risk increased significantly with the number of the caretakers with mental symptoms. A father with poor mental health has both direct and indirect effects on a child’s emotional health, by worsening the influence of a mother’s poor mental health.Conclusion: All three caretakers have a significant negative influence on schoolchildren’s emotional well-being, in the order of mother > father > teacher. It is desirable to assess and manage students’ mental health in the both the family and school contexts.Keywords: combined effects, mental health symptoms, fathers, mothers, teachers, school childrenLi SNa JMu HLi YLiu LZhang RSun JLi YSun WPan GYan LDove Medical Pressarticlecombined effectsmental health symptomsfathersmothersteachersschool childrenNeurosciences.
