This article analyzes emotional and behavioral problems in children and adolescents with chronic somatic disorders. Within the German Health Interview and Examination Survey for Children and Adolescents (Kinder- und Jugendgesundheitssurvey, KIGGS), chronic somatic conditions and obesity were assessed in 11,529 children and adolescents aged 7-17 years old. Special health care needs (CSHCN), emotional and behavioral problems (SDQ), as well as personal, familial, and social resources were surveyed. About 10.8% of the respondents displayed special health care needs and declared a chronic somatic disorder. Of these cases, 20.6% were classified as abnormal in the SDQ (non-somatic conditions: 6.4%). In a logistic regression analysis, male gender (OR=2.0), low socioeconomic status (Winkler index; OR=2.6), family structure (OR>1), and deficits in familial (OR=2.4) and personal (OR=2.1) resources were found to be significantly associated with psychological comorbidity in chronic somatic conditions. The results confirmed previous findings. Especially socioeconomic, structural, and functional aspects of a family have to be considered in the development and prevention of psychological comorbidity in chronic somatic conditions in childhood and adolescence.
