We examined behavior (Child Behavior Checklist) and family functioning (Family Impact Questionnaire) in 65 children with congenital cytomegalovirus. Behavioral problems were present in 30.8%. Parents of children with moderate/severe outcomes reported strain on all areas of family functioning. Behavioral problems were associated with negative impact on parental feelings and marital/partnership relationship. Our findings inform planning support services.
