abstract: 'Family- and neighborhood-level poverty are associated with youth
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
violence. Economic policies may address this risk factor by reducing
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
parental stress and increasing opportunities. The federal Earned Income
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Tax Credit (EITC) is the largest cash transfer program in the US
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
providing support to low-income working families. Many states have
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
additional EITCs that vary in structure and generosity. To estimate the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
association between state EITC and youth violence, we conducted a
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
repeated cross-sectional analysis using the variation in state EITC
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
generosity over time by state and self-reported data in the Youth Risk
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Behavior Surveillance System (YRBSS) from 2005 to 2019. We estimated the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
association for all youth and then stratified by sex and race and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
ethnicity. A 10-percentage point greater state EITC was significantly
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
associated with 3.8\% lower prevalence of physical fighting among youth,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
overall (PR: 0.96; 95\% CI 0.94-0.99), and for male students, 149 fewer
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
(95\% CI: -243, -55) students per 10,000 experiencing physical fighting.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A 10-percentage point greater state EITC was significantly associated
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
with 118 fewer (95\% CI: -184,-52) White students per 10,000
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
experiencing physical fighting in the past 12 months while reductions
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
among Black students (75 fewer; 95\% CI: -176, 26) and Hispanic/Latino
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
students (14 fewer; 95\% CI: -93, 65) were not statistically
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
significant. State EITC generosity was not significantly associated with
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
measures of violence at school. Economic policies that increase
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
financial security and provide financial resources may reduce the burden
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
of youth violence; further attention to their differential benefits
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
among specific population subgroups is warranted.'
