“…This finding remained constant when evaluating relations with family-level economic hardship at both the prenatal and 4.5-year time points and suggests that the absence of this hypothesized relation is unlikely because of distal measurement occasions. Previous research posits that community environments (e.g., neighborhood) may affect proximal processes within families for infants and young children, in particular (Coley et al, 2021; Leventhal et al, 2015), and potentially overshadow possible unique effects of family economic hardship. Housing and neighborhood choices are often influenced by family income level, making neighborhood concentrated disadvantage a broader index by which to measure financial hardship.…”

Objective: Using a life course perspective, this longitudinal study examines the extent to which prenatal family-and neighborhood-level socioeconomic factors influence the cardiometabolic health of low-income Mexican American children. It was hypothesized that prenatal maternal residence in a more economically disadvantaged neighborhood and more family-level economic hardship would each be associated with higher adiposity and blood pressure (BP) at child age 4.5 years, and higher adiposity, BP, inflammation and a less healthy lipid profile at child age 7.5 years. Method: The sample consisted of 322 low-income, Mexican American mother-child dyads, 181 of whom completed the 7.5-year laboratory visit. Using maternal prenatal residence and U.S. census data, neighborhood concentrated disadvantage index was computed. Results: Higher prenatal neighborhood concentrated disadvantage predicted higher 4.5-year adiposity in children, which, in turn, predicted higher adiposity, BP, and inflammation, and less healthy lipid profile (higher triglycerides, lower high-density lipoprotein cholesterol) at 7.5 years. Higher child 4.5-year BP was concurrently associated with higher adiposity and predicted higher 7.5-year BP. Conclusions: Extending previous work with this sample, the current study found associations between cardiometabolic risk indicators as early as preschool among Mexican American children. Furthermore, this study builds on existing literature by expanding our understanding of the effect of prenatal neighborhood concentrated disadvantage on cardiometabolic phenotypes during early childhood. Public Significance StatementPrenatal residence in neighborhoods marked by high levels of concentrated socioeconomic disadvantage may place low-income, Mexican American children at elevated risk for cardiometabolic dysfunction across the first few years of life. Early detection and prevention of cardiometabolic dysfunction in early childhood may have cascading effects for children's subsequent health.

“…Cybervictimization has a wide reach given the interconnectivity of each user [ 8 ]. Youth (ie, aged 11-18 years) are especially susceptible to this form of victimization [ 8 ] given the influence of peer interactions on social development in early life and conventional [ 9 ] standards. Several cases of suicide and suicidality and the presence of suicidal ideations and behaviors [ 10 ] have been found to have direct correlations to cyberbullying [ 11 ].…”

Background The growth of social networking has created a paradigm in which many forms of personal communication are being replaced by internet communication technologies, such as social media. This has led to social issues, such as cyberbullying. In response, researchers are investigating cyberbullying to determine its implications in various life sectors. Objective This manuscript reviews the methods, results, and limitations of the current cyberbullying research and discusses the physical and mental repercussions of cyberbullying and social exclusion as well as methods of predicting and counteracting these events. On the basis of the findings, we discuss future research directions. Methods Using ScienceDirect, ACM Digital Library, and PubMed, 34 research articles were used in this review. A review was conducted using the selected articles with the goal of understanding the current landscape of cyberbullying research. Results Studies have analyzed correlations between depressive and suicidal ideations in subjects as well as relationships in the social, educational, and financial status of the perpetrators. Studies have explored detection methods for monitoring cyberbullying. Automated detection has yet to become effective and accurate; however, several factors, such as personal background and physical appearance, have been identified to correlate with the likelihood that a person becomes a survivor or perpetrator of web-based cybervictimization. Social support is currently common in recovery efforts but may require diversification for specific applications in web-based incidents. Conclusions Relations between social status, age, gender, and behaviors have been discovered that offer new insights into the origins and likeliness of cyberbullying events. Rehabilitation from such events is possible; however, automatic detection is not yet a viable solution for prevention of cyberbullying incidents. Effects such as social exclusion and suicidal ideations are closely tied to incidents of cyberbullying and require further study across various social and demographical populations. New studies should be conducted to explore the experiences of survivors and perpetrators and identify causal links. The breadth of research includes demographics from China, Canada, Taiwan, Iran, the United States, and Namibia. Wider ranges of national populations should be considered in future studies for accurate assessments, given global internet communication technology activity. The studies emphasize the need for formal classification terminology. With formal classification, researchers will have a more definite scope, allowing specific research on a single definable topic rather than on general bullying events and symptoms. Of all the studies, 2 used a longitudinal design for their research methodology. The low number of longitudinal studies leaves gaps between causation and correlation, and further research is required to understand the effects of cyberbullying. Research addressing ongoing victimization is required for the various forms of cyberbullying; social support offers the most effective current standard for prevention.

“…Third and most importantly, we take into account that the different mediators of academic ability differences by parents' financial resources are likely not independent but affect each other causally (e.g., Coley et al 2021;Layte 2017). Since the different explanations for the disparities come from different disciplines, they are often tested separately, or in comparison to each other.…”
