Natalie received her BA from Reed College in 2007 and immediately
moved to Davis to begin her graduate work in psychology. Although
her research focus has bounced around and evolved in the
intervening years, she remains interested in studying
families-at-risk and long-term effects of childhood poverty.
Creciendo en un estado de pobreza puede tener impactos a largo
plazo más allá de la posibilidad de tener un futuro
financieramente estable. El estrés de la pobreza en la vida
temprana puede ser asociado con problemas serios de la salud que
aparecen en la adultez. En investigaciones en curso examinamos la
asociación entre la pobreza y la salud adultez, que puede tener
implicaciones para los gastos de la salud pública en los Estados
Unidos.
Growing up in poverty may have long-term impacts beyond the
chance of a better financial future. The stress of early-life
poverty may in fact be associated with serious health problems
well into adulthood.
Ongoing research by Center Graduate Student Fellow Natalie Troxel
and Faculty Affiliate Paul Hastings examines the association
between poverty and compromised adult health, which may have
implications for healthcare costs in the U.S.
