Assessment of Parent Income and Education, Neighborhood Disadvantage, and Child Brain Structure.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

Although different aspects of socioeconomic status (SES) may represent distinct risk factors for poor mental health in children, knowledge of their differential and synergistic associations with the brain is limited.

Objective

To examine the independent associations between distinct SES factors and child brain structure.

Design, setting, and participants

We used baseline data from participants aged 9 to 10 years in the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development (ABCD) study. These data were collected from 21 US sites between September 2017 and August 2018. Study participants were recruited from schools to create a participant sample that closely reflects the US population.

Exposures

Neighborhood disadvantage was measured using the area deprivation index.
