1. Poverty & Mobility
• Race, gender, education simultaneously combine for greater or lesser risk for time in poverty
• Individual trajectories can go up and down, with each specific exposure affecting where that person will end up
• Not one solution• Mobility out of poverty has large geographic
variability• Aspects of the social and economic environment
and region promote or diminish mobility6

2. Exposures of Poverty and Stress
• Poverty changes parts of the brain associated with memory
• Some part of the negative impacts can be blunted by environment
• Poverty not just about stress, very large differences in exposure to physical environment toxins
• Basis for healthy development are responsive relationships, safe and healthy environments and good nutrition. But these need to be supported by policies and programs. 10

3. Biological embodiment and consequences
• A variety of impacts on the brain from childhood trauma
• Effects of stress on development differ by stage of development from prenatal to old age, but there are impacts across the life course
• Impacts are not just on the brain, but on a range of biological systems, some of which is through Epigenetic changes that can be carried throughout life, but are also reversible

EITC and birth weight
• n = 8,762,028 live births 1980-2002• Treatment group: unmarried mothers with a high school
degree or less, living in a state with EITC• Control group: unmarried mothers with a high school
degree or less, living in a state without EITC

EITC and short term behavior and physiological changes
Findings in stark contrast to much of the econometric literature.• Large amount of money• Form of money a tax refund• Households with children• Range of health outcomes examinedEvidence for a generally health promoting economic policy.These results are identifying only a short-term benefit.

Psychosocial effectiveness for child trauma
① Parenting interventions
② trauma focused interventions
③ enhanced foster care interventions

4. Interventions
• Longer-term beneficial impacts on health and development from early life social environment interventions
• Anti-poverty policy has multiple beneficial impacts on health and development
• Less known about effectiveness of psychosocial interventions for childhood trauma
• Less known about interventions for older ages

Summary
① Lots of things that maher a lihle bit: expectations and evaluation
② Real physiological impacts of poverty: acknowledge individuals at a different place, but that change is very possible
