Parenting intervention programmes during childhood can improve health outcomes for black and rural communities

摘要

Supporting early childhood development across the life course is a fundamental component of the UN sustainable development goals framework. The impact of deprivation and discrimination results in poorer mental and physical health outcomes with increased negative health behaviours for those at risk. Black and rural communities in America experience negative living conditions. However, the challenging conditions do not always result in negative life effects. Supportive environments and supportive caregiving practices have been associated with improved resilience and social and emotional developments.
