Racial and ethnic disparities in adult COVID-19 and the future impact on child health.
This article discusses the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on children who are racial and ethnic minorities and the disproportionate harm to them. The authors urge that COVID-19-focused research consider racial and ethnic disparity. The paper discusses the lasting and intergenerational impact of COVID-19 on communities of color, especially children, due to increase in stress, material hardship, food insecurity, and long-term school readiness.

Differences in the prevalence of childhood adversity by geography in the 2017-18 National Survey of Children's Health.
This study examined differences in childhood exposures to adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) by geography and determined whether geography moderates the relationship between ACE exposure and health outcomes including overall health, asthma, ADHD, and special health care needs. Cross-sectional data from 2017-2017 National Survey of Children’s Health (NSCH) was analyzed. Rural residency was associated with 1.29 times increased odds of exposure to 4+ ACEs compared to suburban residency. Urban residency status was observed to increase the association between ACEs and asthma.

Examining neighborhood poverty-based disparities in HIV/STI prevalence: an analysis of Add Health data.
The purpose of the study was to estimate the effect of exposure to neighborhood poverty in adolescence on HIV/STI prevalence in early adulthood. The investigators found that strong evidence for neighborhood poverty-based differences in HIV/STI prevalence was not observed. They suggest that researchers should continue to investigate the effect of neighborhood-level socioeconomic position measures and, if warranted, identify etiologically relevant exposure periods.

Health implications of social networks for children living in public housing.
This study sought to examine whether the health composition of the social networks of children living in subsidized housing differs from those living in public housing developments; and whether children's social network composition is associated with children's own health. The authors found no significant differences in the health characteristics of the social networks of children based on housing, but social network composition was significantly associated with several aspects of children's own health.
