disadvantage) or accelerating effects (progressively stronger declines with increasing
disadvantage) as suggested by some recent studies.17 — 19 Further, most research has examined socioeconomic patterns for single
childhood outcomes1 or for multiple outcomes within the physical3 4 or developmental17 18 20 health domains.
