Impacts of Maladaptive Eating Behavior, Stress, and Income on Body Mass Index (BMI) in African-American Children

African-American children are more likely to experience obesity. We know little about well-known contributors to obesity such as stress and maladaptive eating behaviors (MEBs) across the income spectrum in this group. Findings suggest that there are no differences in BMI, stress, nor MEBs based on income in the current sample.
