Project Summary The proposal addresses the ongoing mental health crisis among adolescents by considering the overlooked role of wealth and wealth deprivation in driving adolescent problem behaviors. The literature on economic disadvantage and behavioral health has taken a myopic view of the economic circumstances that drive problem behaviors, focusing nearly exclusively on income, while ignoring wealth (household assets minus debts). Wealth is distributed more unequally than is income with roughly one-third of child households experience wealth deprivation. This study will be the first longitudinal study of a diverse cohort of families that observes wealth, income, and adolescent development. With a socioeconomically and racially diverse sample of youth (ages 13-15 years; N = 750) and their caregivers, this investigation has three aims. First it will repeatedly measure (9 observations nested within individuals) family wealth from comprehensive sources and gain a more accurate understanding of wealth inequality and net worth poverty over time across different SES, racial, and ethnic groups. Second, it will probe how wealth interfaces with family income and income volatility and how these factors relate to problem behaviors. Considering that the recent growth in wealth disparities has far outpaced income disparities, we believe it critical to consider how wealth levels and deprivation relate to youth problem behaviors. Third, it will test multiple pathways through which wealth may relate to adolescent problem behaviors. These include: 1) investments of time and money, 2) caregiver and adolescent stress, 3) caregiver and adolescent expectations for the future, and 4) perceptions and manifestations of social class. Examined collectively, the proposal contributes new knowledge and connects to NICHD priorities by providing rich descriptive information as to how adolescents’ problem behaviors are shaped by family wealth and how such experiences interface with other dimensions of family economic circumstances to contribute to adolescent development. The project’s robust analysis of four developmental pathways will be crucial for informing prevention and intervention efforts aimed at reducing problem behaviors and promoting children’s psychosocial functioning among adolescents in families experiencing wealth deprivation.

项目摘要 该提案通过考虑财富的作用来解决青少年正在进行的心理健康危机 以及驱动青少年问题行为的财富剥夺。关于经济灾难和行为的文献 健康对推动问题行为的经济环境有了近视的看法，几乎完全集中了 关于收入，忽略财富（家庭资产减去债务）。财富的分配比收入更不平等 大约三分之一的儿童家庭经历了财富剥夺。这项研究将是第一项关于 观察财富，收入和青少年发展的家庭各种各样的家庭。在社会经济和种族上 年轻人的不同样本（13-15岁； n = 750）及其护理人员，这项投资具有三个目标。首先会 反复测量（9个观察值嵌套在个人内部），从全面来源中获得家庭财富，并获得更多 在不同的SE，种族和种族中，随着时间的流逝，对财富不平等和净资产贫困的准确了解。 其次，它将探讨财富如何与家庭收入和收入波动率互动以及这些因素与问题之间的关系 行为。考虑到近期财富分配的增长超过了收入分配，我们认为这至关重要 考虑财富水平和剥夺与青年问题行为的关系。第三，它将测试多个途径 财富可能与青少年问题行为有关。其中包括：1）时间和金钱的投资，2） 照顾者和青少年压力，3）对未来的照顾者和青少年期望，以及4）感知和 社会阶层的表现。该提案共同研究了新的知识，并与NICHD建立了联系 通过提供有关青少年问题行为如何由家庭财富塑造的丰富描述性信息来优先考虑 以及这种经验与家庭经济环境的其他方面的交互方式，以促进青少年 发展。该项目对四种发展途径的强大分析对于告知预防和 旨在减少问题行为并促进儿童的社会心理功能的干预工作 遭受财富剥夺的家庭的青少年。
