- 요약Socioeconomic status (SES) is a powerful predictor of physical and mental health outcomes during adolescence that can contribute to heightened disease risk in adulthood. The transition from adolescence to young adulthood offers scholars an opportunity to evaluate how normative changes in youths' psychosocial experiences and behavior during this period interact with their broader socioeconomic environment to shape early adult health risk. This dissertation evaluated the relations between socioeconomic resources and markers of inflammation- increasingly considered an indicator of health risk in youth-and depressive symptoms across two independent datasets of youth and young adults. Study 1 evaluated the influence of family-based socioeconomic resources on circulating levels of the pro-inflammatory marker, C-reactive protein (CRP), in a community sample of adolescent-parent dyads over three study waves covering the transition from late-adolescence to young adulthood. We observed that higher parental education was significantly associated with lower average CRP, but not longitudinal changes in CRP across time. As a whole, youth showed significant increases in CRP across the study period that were unrelated to their parents' CRP trends. Follow-up analyses found parallel trends for youths' depressive symptoms, but did not observe associations with upstream indicators of inflammation, i.e., expression of inflammation-related gene transcripts.In Study 2, we evaluated these questions in a short-term longitudinal study of health and experiences across the first year of college. We found that youth with greater financial stress regarding college expenses showed longitudinal increases in CRP across the first year of college that had not been present at the start of the academic year. Both financially stressed students and those who were first-generation college students (i.e., those whose parents do not have four-year college degrees) reported higher depressive symptoms that were stable across the year. In Study 3, we explored whether changes in sleep behavior might drive socioeconomic disparities in inflammation during the transition to college. Students with higher financial stress reported poor sleep quality, greater sleep variability, and greater difficulty waking, but these associations also remained stable across the year. Follow-up analyses suggested that perceived difficulty waking was related to increased CRP over the year, implying potential risk for heightened inflammation. Together, the three studies offer context for how socioeconomic forces shape adolescent health as youth transition to adulthood and point to potential areas for intervention to address and prevent against the emergence of young adult health risk.
