Medical Care, Living Conditions, and Children's Well-Being.

Ross, Catherine E.; Duff, Raymond S.

Social Forces, v61 n2 p456-74 Dec 1982

The family's socioeconomic status and the social-psychological aspects of family functioning were found to influence children's physical well-being both directly as well as indirectly through access to good medical care. Quality of psychotherapeutic care had no effect on psychological well being, which was affected by family living conditions. (Author/MJL)
