Analyses are linear regression models showing predictors of parenting (scale 0–10). Adjusted model was controlled for child and carer gender, child and carer age and country.

The data are cross-sectional; all variables were measured at baseline. Analyses are logistic regression models showing predictors of good parenting (cut-off>8). Adjusted model was controlled for child and carer gender, child and carer age and country.
