What the research collected in this study aims to discover is how the socioeconomic status of a child and/or their family affects their cognitive development, specifically their intelligence quotient. It will also address the theory that development takes both nature and nurture, rather than one or the other, to cultivate on a progressive path. Socioeconomic status, commonly shortened to the acronym SES, includes three different variables that correlate with one another
Socioeconomic status influences health care quality and outcomes. Patients of lower socioeconomic status are more likely to have worse self-reported health, lower life expectancy, and suffer from more chronic conditions when compared with those of higher socioeconomic status. As a result, patients of lower socioeconomic status, in which we will encounter throughout our career’s, require more care and attention during their visits due to this lack of access. These individuals typically need the most
How Socioeconomic Status Affects Child and Adolescent Development Socioeconomic Status is where a particular person or group of people stand in regards to social class. The main measurement that determines one's socioeconomic status is level of education, occupation and income.

One of these challenges is “socioeconomic status”. Socioeconomic status is defined as a complex characteristic, generally understood to encompass not only income and education level, the measures most commonly used, but also a wide range of associated factors that may affect the quality
Socioeconomic status (SES) is often conceptualized in literature to include income, education, and occupation. There are a number of different pathways through which SES effects child development; environmental and parental influence will be emphasized.

Parents of higher SES often engage in more rich conversation
The socioeconomic status (SES) of an individual can take a great toll on their mental health because the struggles they face impact every area of their life. Individuals who experience issues like unemployment, low income, and poor living conditions develop mental illnesses like depression and generalized anxiety disorder (GAD).

Socioeconomic Status and Child Development Socioeconomic status (SES) is one of the most widely studied constructs in the social sciences. Several ways of measuring SES have been proposed, but most include some quantification of family income, parental education, and occupational status. Research shows that SES is associated with a wide variety of health, cognitive, and socioemotional outcomes in children, with effects beginning prior to birth and continuing into adulthood. A variety of mechanisms
There are many factors that can impact different types of development throughout conception to adolescence. One of the major factors is socioeconomic status. In a study, adolescents with a low socioeconomic status are more likely to become teenage parents than people in other classes. With a low SES, teen mothers engage more in risky behaviors such as drinking and smoking, while also not being well informed which can lead to them not getting the prenatal care they need. The result is infants born
