Popis: | The inverse relationship between economic status and mental illness is well established. Less is known, however, about the nature of this relationship. A comparison of poor suburban and rural youth receiving services for their emotional and behavioral problems revealed more similarities than differences. Family income increased during the first year of service for a small percentage of families. A small but significant relationship was found between increased income and caregiver strain as well as child outcomes. For families who are poor and have a child with a disability, highly individualized services and support that reduce caregiver strain are necessary to improve child outcomes. |
