“…For 87% of B-cohort children and 93% of K-cohort children valid data was available for both tests. For these children we extracted the first component (as a proxy for 'g') from a principle component analysis of both age-standardized test scores (cf., Emerson et al, 2014;Jones & Schoon, 2008). The first component accounted for 68% of score variance for the B-cohort and 74% of score variance for the K-cohort.…”

Family and cultural inclusion are essential for the healthy development of young Australian Indigenous peoples with low cognitive ability. To date, this issue has received limited research attention. A secondary analysis of data collected in Wave 4 of Footprints in Time, Australia's Longitudinal Study of Indigenous Children, was conducted to help address this research gap. The study results indicated that in some areas, Indigenous children with low cognitive ability are at a higher risk of social exclusion than their peers. We discuss the policy implications of these findings with regards to addressing Indigenous disadvantage. IntroductionIn Western societyThere is considerable evidence to suggest that , children with low cognitive ability, along with children and young people with a disability in general, are at increased risk of often exclusionded from participating in family events, significant cultural practices, political engagement and education and community-based activities (UNICEF, 2007; World Health Organization and UNICEF, 2012; World Health Organization and World Bank, 2011). This is potentially a of major concern for Indigenous children, as research shows that engagement and participation in Indigenous culture and kinship systems play an integral role to the healthy development of children (Kelly, Dudgeon, Gee, & Glaskin, 2009;Lohoar, Butera, & Kennedy, 2014;Maher, 1999; Wise, 2013).The World Health Organization (WHO) (Alderete, 1999) has identified how European colonisation and colonialism have had a drastic effect on the health and welfare of millions of Indigenous peoples around the world. European colonisation attempted to destroy Indigenous cultural identity through Euro-centric assimilationist policies and practices (Hollinsworth, 2013). These Page 3 of 30 assaults on Indigenous cultural heritage and family/community solidarity are considered root causes of Indigenous communities around the world reporting higher rates of ill-health, disease and disability than their non-Indigenous counterparts

“…Findings about the role of poverty or disadvantage in the persistence of emotional and behavioural problems in young people with ASD are also mixed. Whereas Taylor and Seltzer (2010) found that there was an association between higher income and greater improvement in emotional and behavioural well-being, others have found no effect (Emerson et al, 2014;Gray et al, 2012). To our knowledge, no study has investigated the role of family poverty and socio-economic disadvantage (SED) in general in the development and maintenance of problem behaviour in ASD children with and without comorbid ADHD.…”

We investigated the longitudinal relationship between socio-economic disadvantage (SED) and trajectories of emotional and conduct problems among children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) who had comorbid attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD; ASD+ADHD) or not (ASD-ADHD). The sample was 209 children with ASD who took part in the UK's Millennium Cohort Study. Trajectories of problems across ages 3, 5, and 7 years were analyzed using growth curve models. The ASD-ADHD group decreased in conduct problems over time but the ASD+ADHD group continued on a high trajectory. Although SED was not a risk factor for ASD+ADHD, it was associated with elevated emotional problems among children with ASD+ADHD. The effect of SED on emotional problems was not attenuated by parenting or peer problems. POVERTY AND CHILD BEHAVIOUR IN ASD AND ASD+ADHD2

“…Children living in urban areas experienced a higher probability of socioemotional disability; this finding is interesting because previous studies on disability found an association with rural instead of urban areas. 19 However, these studies focused on disabilities in general, which could be present in different contexts and it is not necessarily associated with rural/urban status.…”

Objectives. To report the prevalence of severe functional difficulties and disability (SFD) in a nationally representative sample of children ages 5 to 17 in Mexico, to identify factors associated with SFD, and population profiles predictive of SFD. Materials and methods. Using data from the National Survey on Children and Women we estimated prevalence and 95% confidence intervals of SFD and risk factors. We fitted bivariate and multivariate logistic regression models. We then examined which combinations of the sociodemographic factors best predicted SFD. Results. The prevalence of SFD was 11.2%. The most prevalent SFD were on the socioemotional dimension (8.3%). The associated risk factors in the three dimensions were: living in a poor household, being a boy, having a mother with basic education or less, and non-indigenous background or living in an urban area. Conclusions. Identifying groups of the population at higher risk for SFD provides useful information for targeted intervention implementation.Keywords: disability; risk factors; population at risk https://doi.org/10.21149/8494Resumen Objetivos. Reportar la prevalencia de dificultades funcionales y discapacidad severa (SFD) en una muestra nacional representativa de niños de 5 a 17 años en México; identificar los factores asociados con SFD; documentar los perfiles poblacionales que predicen SFD. Material y métodos. Se utilizaron los datos de la Encuesta Nacional de Niñas, Niños y Mujeres en México; se estimaron prevalencias e intervalos de confianza al 95%. Se ajustaron modelos bivariados y multivariados. Se examinaron las combinaciones de factores sociodemográficos que mejor predecían la SFD. Resultados. La prevalencia de SFD fue de 11.2%. Las SFD más prevalentes fueron en la dimensión socioemocional (8.3%). Los factores de riesgo asociados en las tres dimensiones fueron pobreza, ser hombre, tener una madre con educación primaria o menor, no ser indígena o vivir en zonas urbanas. Conclusiones. Identificar a los grupos con mayor riesgo de SFD dentro de la población proporciona información útil para el desarrollo de intervenciones.Palabras clave: discapacidad; factores de riesgo; población en riesgo
