The frequency of occurrence of 30 stressful life events and circumstances (SLE-Cs), most major and chronic stressors, was compared among 1179 African American, White, and Hispanic second- to sixth-grade, poor (76% eligible for free or reduced-cost lunch) urban children, and their families. Parents completed a Life Events Checklist (LEC) reporting all SLE-Cs experienced by child and family. Factor analysis identified a 5-factor solution for the LEC: Family Turmoil, Poverty, Family Separation/Social Services, Injury/Illness, and Unsafe/Violent Neighborhood. Although the three groups did not differ in overall number of SLE-Cs reported, there were significant group differences on 15 of the 30 LEC items distributed across all five factors. Implications of these findings, both for identifying future research directions and framing preventive interventions, are considered. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
