Abstract

Children's early experiences have potential to shape their development through early childhood, middle childhood, and into adolescence. Family structure at birth and material hardship may offer insight into how children's health and well-being are shaped within their family of origin. The current paper examined (a) the association between family structure at birth and material hardship 1-year post-birth and (b) the differential impact of race on the associations between family structure and material hardship. We further explored the association between family structure and material hardship on self-reported health in (a) middle childhood and (b) adolescence. Using the Future of Families and Child Wellbeing dataset, an ordinary least squares (OLS) regressions and structural equation path models (SEM) were used to examine associations between family structure, material hardship, and health outcomes (body mass index [BMI], anxiety, and suicidal ideation). Results indicated that family structure predicted material hardship at 1-year until maternal characteristics were taken into account. Race/ethnicity did not moderate the association. Also, family structure at birth was indirectly associated with youth anxiety through material hardship but did not account for BMI or sucidical ideation. Social supports and state policies should prioritize maternal health access and ensure families are able to meet their basic needs to mitigate children's health risks.

家庭结构和物质困难:儿童和青少年获得健康和幸福的途径
儿童的早期经历有可能影响他们从幼儿期、童年中期到青春期的发展。出生时的家庭结构和物质条件的艰苦程度可以帮助我们了解儿童的健康和幸福是如何在原生家庭中形成的。本文研究了(a)出生时的家庭结构与出生后一年的物质条件之间的关系,以及(b)种族对家庭结构与物质条件之间关系的不同影响。我们还进一步探讨了家庭结构和物质条件对(a) 中期和(b) 青春期自我健康报告的影响。我们利用 "家庭未来与儿童福祉 "数据集,通过普通最小二乘法(OLS)回归和结构方程路径模型(SEM),研究了家庭结构、物质困难与健康结果(体重指数[BMI]、焦虑和自杀倾向)之间的关联。结果表明,在将母亲特征考虑在内之前,家庭结构可预测 1 年后的物质困难状况。种族/民族并不影响这种关联。此外,出生时的家庭结构通过物质困难与青少年的焦虑间接相关,但不能解释体重指数或自杀倾向。社会支持和国家政策应优先考虑孕产妇的健康,并确保家庭能够满足其基本需求,以降低儿童的健康风险。
