Beware the Biological Effects of Coronavirus Policy on Children
Michael S. Kobor, Candice Odgers, Kim Schmidt, Ruanne Vent-Schmidt at The National Interest - 22 hours ago
*Michael S. Kobor, Candice Odgers, Kim Schmidt, Ruanne Vent-Schmidt* *Public Health, North America* The public health response to the coronavirus pandemic produces stressors—reduced family income, food insecurity, parental stress and child abuse—which can become biologically embedded and negatively impact children’s developing brains, immune systems, and ability to thrive.
