Relationships between poverty and pyschopathology: a natural experiment

Article Abstract:

Poverty may be a direct cause of some types of mental illness, according to a study of 1,420 children in western North Carolina before and after a casino opened on an Indian reservation. The families of some of the Indian children in the study began receiving income from the casino, which moved 14% of the families out of poverty. The children in these families had fewer psychiatric symptoms after the casino opened than they did before it opened.

Poverty and child mental health: natural experiments and social causation

Article Abstract:

A study published in 2003 showed that poverty may be a direct cause of behavior disorders in children. However, raising a family's income may not necessarily directly benefit the children in the family. Many countries have become more prosperous since the 1950s, but the rate of behavioral and mental disorders in children actually increased during that time.
