q2 · i? · quant-synthesis · r2

Narrative synthesis attributed to the earlier review by Mugnaini et al. (2009) on general learning disabilities and general internalising problems, as reported in this article's Introduction. The review attributes these conclusions to that prior work.

"They found that poor readers of all ages are at risk for internalising problems, that poor reading is specifically associated with both anxiety and depression, and that poor readers with attention problems are at higher risk for internalising problems than poor readers without attention problems."
