of the research employing dichotomous socioeconomic indicators such as family
poverty.2 5 16 Thus, it is unclear whether poor developmental outcomes exhibit threshold
effects (evident only when a certain level
of disadvantage is exceeded), gradient
effects (linear declines with increasing 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
