Using data from the Los Angeles Family and Neighborhood Survey, this study compared differences in how family process variables, including primary caregiver self-efficacy, parenting behavior and family conflict were associated with poverty and children's emotional and behavioral problems among immigrant children (N =158), children of immigrant parents (N = 379), and children of non-immigrant parents (N = 353). Poverty is associated with a variety of negative child outcomes, including emotional and behavioral problems. Links between poverty and children's mental health problems are of particular importance for immigrant children who experience economic hardship at a higher rate than non-immigrant children. Studies suggest that economic hardship typically does not have a direct effect on children's mental health, but instead it indirectly affects children via its negative impact on certain family processes; however research on the mediating role of family processes among immigrant families is lacking.

520 $a Using data from the Los Angeles Family and Neighborhood Survey, this study compared differences in how family process variables, including primary caregiver self-efficacy, parenting behavior and family conflict were associated with poverty and children's emotional and behavioral problems among immigrant children (N =158), children of immigrant parents (N = 379), and children of non-immigrant parents (N = 353). Poverty is associated with a variety of negative child outcomes, including emotional and behavioral problems. Links between poverty and children's mental health problems are of particular importance for immigrant children who experience economic hardship at a higher rate than non-immigrant children. Studies suggest that economic hardship typically does not have a direct effect on children's mental health, but instead it indirectly affects children via its negative impact on certain family processes; however research on the mediating role of family processes among immigrant families is lacking.
520 $a Results from this study indicated that economic hardship was significantly related to children's emotional problems in all three groups, and children's behavioral problems among children of immigrant parents and children of non-immigrant parents. Poor children of immigrant parents had significantly greater emotional problems than poor children in the other two groups; no significant differences between the groups were found with respect to behavioral problems. Multivariate results indicated that parenting behavior significantly predicted behavioral problems among immigrant children, and family process variables were not significant mediators of poverty's impact. Among children of immigrant parents, multivariate analyses indicated that family conflict and parenting behavior were significantly related to emotional problems, and parenting behavior significantly predicted behavioral problems. Being from Mexico or other Latin/Central American countries was a significant predictor of emotional problems among children of immigrant parents. Parenting behavior was found to be a significant mediator between poverty and behavioral problems among children of immigrant parents, and both multivariate and mediational analyses indicated that poverty had a direct effect on emotional problems among children of immigrant parents. Among non-immigrant families, multivariate results indicated that primary caregiver self-efficacy was significantly related to children's emotional and behavioral problems, and primary caregiver self-efficacy was a significant mediator of the relationship between poverty and children's behavioral problems. Implications for social welfare practice, policy and research are discussed.
