Socioeconomic status, stressful life situations and mental health problems in children and adolescents: Results of the German BELLA cohort-study.

Children and adolescents with a low SES suffer from multiple stressful life situations and are exposed to a higher risk of developing mental health problems. The findings suggest that the reduction of socioeconomic inequalities and interventions for families with low parental education might help to reduce children's mental health problems.
