This study examined the associations of multifaceted material hardship measured cross-sectionally and longitudinally with children's wellbeing in the United States. Results from linear regression and child fixed effects models indicated that more intense material hardship had consistent, detrimental associations with child health status and internalizing and externalizing behaviors. More intense longitudinal patterns of material hardship were consistently associated with behaviors only. These findings examine new, multifaceted measures of material hardship and suggest associations between child wellbeing, particularly behavior challenges, and exposure both to multiple forms of material hardship and to more intense long-term patterns of hardship.
本研究考察了在美国横断面和纵向测量的多方面物质困难与儿童福祉之间的关联。线性回归和儿童固定效应模型的结果表明,更严重的物质困难与儿童健康状况以及内化和外化行为存在一致的有害关联。更严重的物质困难纵向模式仅与行为始终相关。这些发现检验了物质困难的新的多方面测量方法,并表明儿童福祉,特别是行为挑战,与多种形式的物质困难暴露以及更严重的长期困难模式之间存在关联。
