    Objective: Associations between parental/caregiver's depression and adverse child outcomes are well established and have been described through one or more mechanisms: children's psychopathology following exposure to a depressed caregiver, children's psychopathology exacerbating the caregiver's depression, and caregiver's and offspring's depression sharing the same etiology. Data is scant from low and middlecincome countries (LMIC). We examined correlations of common mental disorders symptoms of caregivers with their offspring's psychopathology in a Brazilian sample. Methods: Adult participants were screened for depression in a primary care setting to conduct a clinical trial within the clinic. Caregivers were assessed using the Zung Self-Rating Depression Scale and the Self-Reporting Questionnaire (SRQ-20), that measures common mental disorders symptoms. Children's symptoms were measured on the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ). For this paper, we analyzed the baseline data of 68 primary caregivers of 110 children between 6-15 years old. Results: Caregivers with higher scores on the SRQ-20 had significant correlations with their offspring's psychiatric symptoms. Conclusion: These results substantiate our hypothesis that children's psychopathology impacts caregivers' psychiatric symptoms and can help guide future strategies for reducing the burden of common mental disorders in both caregivers and children. They add to the growing literature on community assessments in LMIC.
