This study examined the effect of poverty on the prevalence of psychiatric disorder in rural Black and White children. <\/jats:p><jats:p> Methods. A representative sample of 541 Black children and 379 White children aged 9 to 17 was drawn from 4 predominantly rural counties. Structured interviews with parents and children collected information on psychiatric disorders, absolute and relative poverty, and risk factors for psychiatric disorder. <\/jats:p><jats:p> Results. Three-month prevalence of psychiatric disorder was similar to that found in other community samples (20%). Federal criteria for poverty were met by 18% of the White and 52% of the Black families. Black and White children were exposed to equal numbers of risk factors overall, but the association between poverty and psychopathology was stronger for White children (odds ratio [OR] = 2.1; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.1, 4.2) than for Black children (OR = 1.5; 95% CI = 0.9, 2.6). Family history of mental illness, poor parenting, and residential instability mediated this association in both groups. <\/jats:p><jats:p> Conclusions. In this rural sample, poverty was only weakly associated with child psychiatric disorders. Risk factors for both racial\/ethnic groups were family mental illness, multiple moves, lack of parental warmth, lax supervision, and harsh punishment. <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.2105\/ajph.91.9.1494","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2008,11,29]],"date-time":"2008-11-29T13:33:29Z","timestamp":1227965609000},"page":"1494-1498","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":132,"title":["Poverty, Race\/Ethnicity, and Psychiatric Disorder: A Study of Rural Children"],"prefix":"10.2105","volume":"91","author":[{"given":"E.
