AB  - Children  who  live  in  poor  families  face  profound  challenges  to  their  health,  development,  and  educational  achievement.  These  challenges  lead  to  increased  rates  of  illness,  developmental  delays,  behavioral  problems,  school  failure,  and  social  dysfunction.  Poverty,  adverse  exposures,  and  unmet  basic  needs  amplify  the  impact  of  biological  vulnerabilities  on  the  child.  However,  as  with  other  threats  to  health  and  development,  the  effects  of  poverty  can  be  offset  by  individual,  family,  community,  and  professional  buffering  factors  that  offer  both  protection  and  support.  Pediatricians  are  in  a  prime  position  to  screen  for  poverty-related  complications  and  offer  support  through  appropriate  community  referrals  in  order  to  mitigate  the  long-term  detrimental  consequences  of  poverty
