“…Poor or low-SES individuals experience greater occurrence of conflicts because disorganization, instability and unpredictability co-occur with other negative events (Brooks-Gunn & Duncan, 1997;Drake & Pandey, 1996;Dube et al, 2003;Evans & Kim, 2013). Residential instability, crowding, noise, toxins, cold, illness, and violence are common constraints of people living in poverty.…”

“…As poor environments tend to be chaotic, higher levels of stress are generated in the family and harsher parental discipline arises increasing the risk of maltreatment and neglect (Drake & Pandey, 1996;Schibilli & D'Angiulli, 2011;Steinberg, Catalano, & Dooley, 1981). Often, acute stress is generated at prenatal stages due to the overlapping of several risk factors, for example, when a pregnant woman suffer gender violence, get involved in drugs, and do not follow medical care during pregnancy (Chaffin, Kelleher, & Hollenberg, 1996).…”

Studies suggest that socioeconomic status is a strong predictor of academic achievement. This theoretical paper proposes that despite the fact that low-socioeconomic status represents a risk factor that seems to undermine attentional skills and thus academic achievement, emerging evidence suggests the potential of new approaches, interventions and cognitive training programs to reverse the negative effects of poverty. The evidence presented in this paper may be of particular interest for teachers because it provides a larger scope to better understand the implications of socioeconomic status on learning and school achievement. This paper intends to make teachers aware that today more than ever they count on important knowledge and valuable resources like cognitive training intervention programs to help students. These intervention programs correct dysfunctional attention bringing hope to socially disadvantaged students who struggle in school.

“…4,9,10 Our work suggests that emerging findings regarding chronic child maltreatment (eg, the Adverse Child Experiences Study, LONG-SCAN) can be confidently generalized to the segment of the population that is most severely at risk for child maltreatment: socioeconomically disadvantaged children. 25,26 Although this study has a nonmaltreated comparison group and is longitudinal, it is impossible to establish clear causal relationships given the lack of random assignment. There is also some risk of false-positives or false-negatives attendant to the use of official reports, although the risk of false-negatives is…”

WHAT'S KNOWN ON THIS SUBJECT: We lack prospective studies documenting "dosage effects" of chronic child maltreatment for both subsequent adolescent and adult outcomes. It is unknown whether effects are linear, shelving, or exponential, and we lack data across domains of outcomes.WHAT THIS STUDY ADDS: Chronic child maltreatment reports are a robust indicator of future negative health and behavioral outcomes. There is a dose-response relationship between chronicity and outcomes in adolescence, but this is attenuated in adulthood once adverse child outcomes are controlled. abstract OBJECTIVE: To describe how child maltreatment chronicity is related to negative outcomes in later childhood and early adulthood. METHODS:The study included 5994 low-income children from St Louis, including 3521 with child maltreatment reports, who were followed from 1993-1994 through 2009. Children were 1.5 to 11 years of age at sampling. Data include administrative and treatment records indicating substance abuse, mental health treatment, brain injury, sexually transmitted disease, suicide attempts, and violent delinquency before age 18 and child maltreatment perpetration, mental health treatment, or substance abuse in adulthood. Multivariate analysis controlled for potential confounders. RESULTS:Child maltreatment chronicity predicted negative childhood outcomes in a linear fashion (eg, percentage with at least 1 negative outcome: no maltreatment = 29.7%, 1 report = 39.5%, 4 reports = 67.1%). Suicide attempts before age 18 showed the largest proportionate increase with repeated maltreatment (no report versus 4+ reports = +625%, P , .0001). The dose-response relationship was reduced once controls for other adverse child outcomes were added in multivariate models of child maltreatment perpetration and mental health issues. The relationship between adult substance abuse and maltreatment report history disappeared after controlling for adverse child outcomes. CONCLUSIONS:Child maltreatment chronicity as measured by official reports is a robust indicator of future negative outcomes across a range of systems, but this relationship may desist for certain adult outcomes once childhood adverse events are controlled. Although primary and secondary prevention remain important approaches, this study suggests that enhanced tertiary prevention may pay high dividends across a range of medical and behavioral domains.

“…La question qui nous intéresse cependant ici est de savoir s'il s'opère une sélection en regard du statut-économique à l'intérieur même des services de protection, question qui n'a pas encore trouvé de réponse définitive (Manseau, 1990 ;Winefield et Bradley, 1992 ;Trocmé et al, 1994 ;Callahan et Lumb, 1995 ;Drake et Pandy, 1996). Le même questionnement s'applique à l'endroit des familles monoparentales et recomposées.…”
