Abstract
Although children with marginalized sociodemographic characteristics are exposed to increased health risk and disparities, there is a paucity of population-based research on health status of children occupying multiple social marginalities. The present study investigated implications of children's intersectional sociodemographic characteristics on health risk indicators. In this longitudinal cohort study, we used longitudinal data from the ongoing Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development study. The study used a population-based sample of 9- to 10-year-old children attending private and public schools in 21 U.S.-based study sites between 2016 and 2018. In the present analytic sample of 9,854 children and adolescents, eight social strata groups were identified based on children's ethnicity/race, assigned sex at birth, and sexual orientation. Five health risk indicators were included in the study: depressed mood, suicidal ideation, self-injurious behaviors, alcohol sipping, and overweight status. Results showed that compared to White heterosexual boys (referent group), sexual minority (SM) children including White and ethnic/racial minority, boys and girls were at greater risk of having depressed mood, self-injurious behavior, and suicidal ideation. White SM children, including boys and girls, were also at greater risk of sipping alcohol, whereas heterosexual ethnically/racially minoritized children, including boys and girls, were at less risk of sipping alcohol. Although no change was found in overweight status over time across social groups, children with marginalized social categories were more likely to report being overweight. Intersectional marginality accounted for an increased health risk and disparities among children from marginalized sociodemographic background.

期刊介绍：
Developmental Psychology ® publishes articles that significantly advance knowledge and theory about development across the life span. The journal focuses on seminal empirical contributions. The journal occasionally publishes exceptionally strong scholarly reviews and theoretical or methodological articles. Studies of any aspect of psychological development are appropriate, as are studies of the biological, social, and cultural factors that affect development. The journal welcomes not only laboratory-based experimental studies but studies employing other rigorous methodologies, such as ethnographies, field research, and secondary analyses of large data sets. We especially seek submissions in new areas of inquiry and submissions that will address contradictory findings or controversies in the field as well as the generalizability of extant findings in new populations. Although most articles in this journal address human development, studies of other species are appropriate if they have important implications for human development. Submissions can consist of single manuscripts, proposed sections, or short reports.
