Certainly. Correlation isn't causation. One hurdle is that any experimental study of this phenomenon would be highly unethical.
But all is not lost. Single-parent households are also associated with higher risk of juvenile delinquency. I'll see if I can dig up a study of children abused by foster parents or step-parents.
Single-parent households are also associated with higher rates of parental divorce and teenage pregnancy.
I think I remember reading what happens if you only look at single-parent households where the other parent got sick and died, but I don't remember the answer.
