Approximately 20% of all children in the United States live in poverty, which exists in rural, urban, and suburban areas. Thus, all child health clinicians need to be familiar with the effects of poverty on health and to understand associated, preventable, and modifiable social factors that impact health. Social determinants of health are identifiable root causes of medical problems. For children living in poverty, social determinants of health for which clinicians may play a role include the following: child maltreatment, child care and education, family financial support, physical environment, family social support, intimate partner violence, maternal depression and family mental illness, household substance abuse, firearm exposure, and parental health literacy. Children, particularly those living in poverty, exposed to adverse childhood experiences are susceptible to toxic stress and a variety of child and adult health problems, including developmental delay, asthma and heart disease. Despite the detrimental effects of social determinants on health, few child health clinicians routinely address the unmet social and psychosocial factors impacting children and their families during routine primary care visits. Clinicians need tools to screen for social determinants of health and to be familiar with available local and national resources to address these issues. These guidelines provide an overview of social determinants of health impacting children living in poverty and provide clinicians with practical screening tools and resources.

“…Such interventions can improve quality of life and enhance future cognitive, motor, and social development for a child with neurodevelopmental delay or disability. 77,78 Data show that the procedures of early intervention stimulation, specialized therapy care, and the use of appropriate equipment are significant factors in helping achieve maximum benefit to the growing child. 79,80 They can provide significant support to families, 81 and can be effectively incorporated into childhood developmental programs.…”

Low- and middle-income countries are experiencing a significant reduction in mortality of children under 5 years of age. This reduction is bringing in its wake large numbers of surviving children with developmental delays and disabilities. Very little attention has been paid to these children, most of whom receive minimal or no support. Thus, there is an urgent need to recognize that improving the quality of life of the survivors must complement mortality reduction in healthcare practice and programs. The incorporation of early evaluation and intervention programs into routine pediatric care is likely to have the most impact on the quality of life of these children. We therefore call for leadership from practitioners, governments, and international organizations to prioritize regular childhood developmental surveillance for possible delays and disabilities, and to pursue early referral for intervention.

“…First, neurodevelopment in children may be affected by many genetic and environmental factors. Factors associated with poor performance IQ include low socioeconomic status [46]; poverty [47]; lack of stimulation in the home [48], including lack of maternal warmth; poor maternal education [49]; iron deficiency [50,51]. To study the effects of cadmium exposure duration pregnancy on the IQ of their children, it was Table 2 Multiple linear regression analysis of the association between the performance IQ of children and maternal blood cadmium concentrations after adjustment for covariates # .…”
