Children who are “doubly poor,” lacking in both income and net worth, are at the highest risk for cognitive and behavioral concerns, according to research from Christina Gibson-Davis & colleagues in Socius: Sociological Research for a Dynamic World.

We often assess the relationship between #poverty and #health by using measures of #income. However, #poverty can also be defined using measures of #wealth (net worth = total assets - debts). People can be poor in terms of net worth - even if they are not income poor. Brief 🧵

Pop quiz! How can you have poor health? A) Be income poor B) Be net worth poor C) Be income & net worth poor (Hint: It's all 3! But C really matters). See Soc Sci Med article tinyurl.com/3xv527xz by Dr. Courtney Boen, PhD, MPH, @warrenrlowell, Lisa Keister, & me about poverty & health.

New paper w Christina Gibson-Davis @warrenrlowell Lisa Keister & me highlighting the role of wealth deprivation in population health inequities. In 2019 1/3 of US HHs were net worth poor, w esp high rates among Black HHs (60%). This has devastating consequences. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

New work using #PSIDdata from Christina Gibson-Davis, Dr. Courtney Boen, PhD, MPH, Lisa Keister and @warrenrlowell finds that low wealth exacerbates the already deleterious effects of low income on health--and that the effect may be driven more by low assets than debt. bit.ly/3QPdXjh
