"African American Children" examines social, health, and interpersonal factors as they relate to cognitive and psychological functioning in a sample of formerly homeless African American children ages three to six. Using an ecological model, the interplay between individual, family, and environmental factors is emphasized. Implications for social policy based on the significant findings of this study include early intervention and prevention programs to assist low-income mothers with psychological support, early prenatal care, drug treatment, and services to escape and recover from domestic violence.
