teens take into account family, school and social relationships when
ranking their own health. The survey also showed that low-income teens
placed more emphasis on mental health, rather than just physical
health, than their wealthier counterparts. Johnson, S., & Wang, C.

Parents Think They Are? The Importance of Mental Health Varies by
Social Class in a Nationally Representative Sample. Pediatrics, 121:
