The Cost of Social Inequalities: Multilevel Neighborhood and Family Socioeconomic Influences on Children’s Psychophysiological Functioning
Low socioeconomic status contributes to poor health, but less is known about its effects on children’s psychophysiological functioning. In three studies, we explore children’s cortisol activity as a function of family- and neighborhood-level socioeconomic conditions. Discussion will foster a more nuanced understanding of the socioeconomic determinants of early life physiology.
