Perceived social support mitigates the associations among household chaos and health and well-being in rural early adolescents.

Purpose: Previous studies have demonstrated that early adolescents residing in chaotic households experience adverse health and well-being outcomes.

Accordingly, this study aims to investigate whether perceived social support moderates the link between household chaos and the health and well-being among Chinese rural early adolescents.
