This call is for proposals to carry out a multi-disciplinary evidence review of the relationship between poverty and stress, low level anxiety and depression across the life-course.
Key information
Further information
There is evidence that poverty and stress, low level anxiety and depression are associated in some way, even if there is not a simple causal link. JRF has published reviews which have touched on this including psychological perspectives on poverty and how much money matters to health, adult and children’s outcomes.
This multi-disciplinary evidence review should include consideration of the main ways in which poverty and stress, low level anxiety and depression may be linked. In particular the two-way causality between poverty and stress, low level anxiety and depression:
- Does poverty cause stress, low level anxiety and depression?
- Do stress, low level anxiety and depression cause poverty?
