How Do Socioeconomic Factors Influence Neurodevelopmental Disorders?
Socioeconomic factors can significantly influence the incidence and management of neurodevelopmental disorders. Children from lower socioeconomic backgrounds may have increased exposure to risk factors, such as poor nutrition and limited access to healthcare services. Socioeconomic status can also affect the likelihood of receiving an early diagnosis and intervention, which are critical for improving outcomes. Epidemiological research helps in identifying these disparities and advocating for equitable healthcare access.
