Mitigating the Impact of the Coronavirus Pandemic on Rural Low-Income Families
Well-Being and Stability among Low-income Families
Maternal depression and family health context
This study examined depression trajectories of rural, low-income mothers over 3 years in the co-occurring family health context. Specifically, within a Family Systems Theory framework, we compared 11 mothers who showed ongoing signs of major depression (“constantly depressed”) with 12 mothers who exhibited signs of major depression at baseline but whose condition improved over time (“continuously improved”). The constantly depressed mothers exper…
Context matters
Low‐income mothers in rural areas lack access to resources and may rely strongly on support from their children's grandparents. However, most current research on grandparent support focuses on coresidential or custodial grandparents. Very few recent studies focus on the types of support provided by nonresident grandparents, who may be a particularly critical source of support for mothers in rural areas.

Gaining Access to Economically Marginalized Rural Populations

Gaining access to economically marginalized rural populations in order to recruit individuals to participate in a research study, however, is often a challenge.

We review the relative advanta…
