Abstract | "Data Trends" reports present summaries of research on mental health services for children and adolescents and their families. The article summarized in this "Data Trends" asks: Does the stress and adversity associated with poverty cause mental illness or is poverty the result of downward social mobility of persons with mental illness? This is the question addressed by social causation and social selection, two competing theories on the link between poverty and mental illness, and the question researchers conducting the Great Smoky Mountains study sought to answer. This study sheds new light on the "selection vs. causation" debate, and indicates the importance of poverty reduction as part of efforts to promote children's mental health. However, as the authors note, this research design limits insight into possible psychophysiological changes associated with symptom reduction, the influence of family strengths, or changes in environmental risk.
