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.

Intergenerational social networks and health behaviors among children living in public housing.
The researchers investigated whether caretakers' social networks are linked with children's health status. They found that caretaker social networks are independently associated with certain aspects of child health, suggesting the importance of the broader social environment for low-income children's health.
