Bradley, Robert H.; Corwyn, Robert F.; McAdoo, Harriette Pipes; Coll, Cynthia Garcia
Child Development, v72 n6 p1844-67 Nov-Dec 2001
Examined National Longitudinal Survey of Youth data on four versions of HOME-Short Form for four major ethnic groups. Found differences for majority of items between poor and non-poor families. Magnitude of effect for poverty was greater than for ethnicity. For every item at every age, effects of poverty were proportional across European American, African American, and Hispanic American groups. (Author/KB)
