Abstract
ABSTRACTThis study investigated relationships between low-income children’s health and six factors: social disorganization, social structural, social relationship, parent health/mental health, parent substance use, and access to healthcare. A sample of 7,349 low-income children extracted from a national data set. Logistic regression results showed low-income children’s excellent or very good health to be associated positively with safe neighborhood, family cohesiveness, family support, caregiver health, and caregiver mental health. Children’s health was associated negatively with racial discrimination experience, professional support, Medicaid receipt, and child age. Implications included promotion of neighborhood safety, cultural competency of professionals, respect racial/ethnic diversity, and cohesive families.KEYWORDS: Childrenhealthparentsracism Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Poverty is the first refereed journal to recognize the inequalities in our social, political, and economic structures, presenting progressing strategies that expand society"s increasingly narrow notions of poverty and inequality. The journal"s broad understanding of poverty—more inclusive than the traditional view—keeps the focus on people"s need for education, employment, safe and affordable housing, nutrition, and adequate medical care, and on interventions that range from direct practice to community organization to social policy analysis. The journal"s articles will increase your knowledge and awareness of oppressive forces such as racism, sexism, classism, and homophobia that contribute to the maintenance of poverty and inequality.
