Social factors and worry associated with COVID-19: Evidence from a large survey in China
2021, Social Science and MedicineCitation Excerpt :They may be correlated with each other but are not interchangeable (Shavers, 2007). Disadvantaged SES has long been identified as a risk factor for mental health problems and anxiety including worry is more common in lower education and lower income groups (Buckner and Bassuk, 1997; Farrell et al., 2009). Education and income are considered to be negatively associated with anxiety disorders (Chen et al., 2019).
Food insecurity and mental disorders in a national sample of U.S. adolescents
2012, Journal of the American Academy of Child and Adolescent PsychiatryCitation Excerpt :Second, the sampling design may have resulted in an under-representation of adolescents who were homeless, did not speak English, and did not attend school. The prevalence of food insecurity6,15 and mental disorders44 is likely higher in these segments of the population, which may have attenuated the associations between food insecurity and mental disorders in the present analysis. Third, the NCS-A is a cross-sectional study, which raises concerns about reverse causality.
Disproportionate exposure to early-life adversity and sexual orientation disparities in psychiatric morbidity
2012, Child Abuse and NeglectCitation Excerpt :Homelessness may also result from victimization by caregivers or romantic partners (Cochran et al., 2002). Although these types of adverse childhood experiences are known risk factors for psychopathology among general population samples (Buckner & Bassuk, 1997; Campbell, 2002; Green et al., 2010; Kessler, Davis, & Kendler, 1997; McLaughlin, Green, et al., 2010), few studies have examined whether exposure to early-life adversity and victimization explains, at least in part, the associations between sexual orientation and psychopathology. The one previous study examining this question found that exposure to child abuse partially explained sexual orientation disparities in tobacco and alcohol use in lesbian and bisexual women (Jun et al., 2010).
Homelessness and children's use of mental health services: A population-based study
2012, Children and Youth Services ReviewCitation Excerpt :While the need for mental health services can be assumed to be at least as great for homeless children as for their poor, housed counterparts, the impact of homelessness on receiving mental health services remains unclear. In the only previous study on this issue of which the authors are aware, Buckner and Bassuk (1997) found that, among small samples of both homeless and housed poor children who were diagnosed with mental disorders, there was no difference among the two groups in their use of mental health services. In contrast, several dynamics could potentially lead to differences in children's use of mental health services based on housing status.
