Absent full on substance abuse (which would make a parent a negligent caregiver), there is little basis to make such a connection.

No, you'd need evidence & reasons on a case by case basis which is what stats don't give you.

There could well be a correlation between men who don't support kids financially &men who don't look after kids in their care

A wider irresponsibility. Leading a mother to try to impede access for reasons other than financial ones in some cases.

Let's agree that one would need to control in the proposed analysis for substance use/abuse and addiction. Anything else?

Do you think it possible that a parent who doesn't provide for child's needs when staying with them, might not generally.

We'd need to separate parents who don't pay child support coz don't care abt child's wellbeing from those who can't pay it.

I'm not sure that in a study, or in real life, there is a burden of proof for parents to be presumed caring. Competent, yes. Caring, no.
