The majority
of the world's people live at what would be considered desperate
poverty levels in developed countries, the average per capita material and energy use in developed countries is
higher than in developing countries by a factor
of 5 to 10 [25], and the developed countries are responsible for over three quarters
of cumulative greenhouse gas emissions
from 1850 to 2000 [85].
The prevalence
of maternal depressive symptoms reported by screening this large national sample
of indigent mothers interviewed between 1992 and 1993 is similar to the prevalence reported for low - income mothers
of young children at a Baltimore pediatric primary care clinic in 1984 (41 % vs 35 %, respectively).8 In addition, the extent
of family
poverty in this study has a «dose - response» association with maternal depressive symptoms that is similar to that reported in another (smaller) national sample
from the 1990s.15 In both studies, as well as this study, mothers with lower incomes reported
higher levels of depressive symptoms.
Non-parametric analyses suggested that
higher stress
level, childhood
poverty, lack
of parental involvement or support, without a mentor support and lack
of self - motivation increase the likelihood
of dropping out
from college.
Poverty level was imputed
from state,
highest household education, total number
of children in household, and total number
of adults in household, using hot - decking techniques to maximize use
of that variable in analyses.35
The above analyses suggested that
higher stress
level, childhood
poverty, lack
of parental involvement or support, without mentor support and lack
of self - motivation increase the likelihood
of dropping out
from college.
Adolescence is an important decade in a child's development, marking the period
of transition
from childhood to adulthood.7 Adolescents are a particularly vulnerable group, experiencing a third
of all new HIV infections worldwide, 8
high levels of violence, lower school attendance and enrolment than primary schoolchildren, early marriage and
higher levels9
of sexual abuse victimisation.10 Furthermore, adolescence is a time where the intergenerational transmission
of poverty, violence victimisation and perpetration, gender inequalities and educational disadvantage manifest themselves.9
Recent research conducted in mainland China found that obesity prevalence was
higher among children in wealthier families, 4 but the patterns were different in Hong Kong with
higher rates
of childhood obesity among lower income families.4 5 Hong Kong, despite having a per capita gross domestic product
of Hong Kong dollar (HK$) 273 550, has large income differences between rich and poor as reflected by a
high Gini coefficient
of 0.539 reported in 2016; approximately 20 %
of the population are living in
poverty as defined by a monthly household income below half
of the Hong Kong median.6 It is widely accepted that population health tend to be worse in societies with greater income inequalities, and hence low - income families in these societies are particularly at risk
of health problems.7 In our previous study, children
from Hong Kong Chinese low - income families experienced poorer health and more behavioural problems than other children in the population at similar age.8 Adults
from these families also reported poorer health - related quality
of life (HRQOL), 9 with 6.1 %
of the parents having a known history
of mental illness and 18.2 %
of them reporting elevated
level of stress.
A systematic review
of neighbourhood characteristics and health outcomes only identified one study that considered mental disorders.12, 13 Recent studies have shown that neighbourhood social disorganisation is associated with depressive symptoms14 and that living in socioeconomically deprived areas is associated with depression, 15,16 with
higher levels of child problem behaviour, 17 with a
higher incidence
of non-psychotic disorders.18 A randomised controlled trial that moved families
from high poverty neighbourhoods to non-poor neighbourhoods showed that both parents and children who moved reported fewer psychological distress symptoms than did control families who did not move.19
Wards with
high levels of child
poverty and / or
high proportions
of children
from ethnic minorities were over-sampled to improve reliability
of inference for these important subpopulations; to compensate for disproportionate stratification, sample design weights are provided with the data [18], and we used these in our analysis.
