Strongly stated versions of these explanations claim that traits like these not only influence one’s socioeconomic attainment, but also affect other life chances including one’s capacity to live a long and healthy life. In this formulation health inequalities by race and socioeconomic status emerge in the repeated expression of these valuable traits across the life course. Because such traits develop early in life, policy needs to focus on the critical period of early childhood so that deficits in these traits can be addressed among disadvantaged groups. Despite the prominence of this thesis, the life course data needed to rigorously test it has not been available. The opportunity to implement such a test arose in the context of a study we conducted of approximately 50-year-old black and white study participants (N=605) whose mothers were first recruited into the Child Health and Development Studies when they were pregnant with the participant. The data contain the requisite prospectively ascertained life-course measures of health, socioeconomic status and cognitive and non-cognitive traits to allow a strong test of trait explanations for health inequalities. Results show no evidence that traits are independently associated with adult health or that they account for race or SES inequalities in health. We need to look elsewhere to understand why health inequalities by race and SES are such prominent social facts</span></span></p><p><br></p></div></td></tr><tr><td style="background-color:#fcd340;padding-top:0;padding-bottom:0;padding-right:24px;padding-left:24px" valign="top"><div id="m_-8620600701514735657m_1674188536624777784dataBlockId-12" style="width:100%"><p><span style="font-size:15px"><span style="font-family:'Playfair Display',Georgia,'Times New Roman',serif">Boxed lunch provided to the first 17 in attendance</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size:15px"><span style="font-family:'Playfair Display',Georgia,'Times New Roman',serif">Space is limited</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size:15px"><span style="font-family:'Playfair Display',Georgia,'Times New Roman',serif">Any questions, please email:</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size:15px"><span style="font-family:'Playfair Display',Georgia,'Times New Roman',serif"><a href="mailto:nicole.jimenez@ucr.edu" target="_blank">nicole.jimenez@ucr.edu</a></span></span></p></div></td></tr><tr><td style="background-color:#f4f4f4;padding-top:8px;padding-bottom:8px;padding-right:8px;padding-left:8px" valign="top"><table align="center" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%" role="presentation" id="m_-8620600701514735657m_1674188536624777784section_e9d44d5d67cc3473084e5262cb37a8de"><tbody><tr><td style="background-color:#f4f4f4;background-position:center;background-repeat:no-repeat;background-size:cover;padding-top:0px;padding-bottom:0px" valign="top"><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="12" width="100%" role="presentation"><tbody><tr><td style="padding-top:0;padding-bottom:0;margin-bottom:12px" valign="top" colspan="12" width="100%"><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%" role="presentation"><tbody><tr><td style="padding-top:12px;padding-bottom:12px;padding-right:16px;padding-left:16px" align="center" valign="top"><div id="m_-8620600701514735657m_1674188536624777784dataBlockId-5" style="display:inline-block;width:100%"><p><br></p></div></td></tr><tr><td align="center" valign="top"><table align="center" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%" role="presentation"><tbody><tr><td style="background-position:center;background-repeat:no-repeat;background-size:cover" valign="top"><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%" role="presentation"><tbody><tr><td valign="top" colspan="12" width="100%"><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%" role="presentation"><tbody><tr><td align="center" valign="top"><div><div><a href="https://ucr.us18.list-manage.com/track/click?u=87a26b4849754cfe8bba0680d&id=c10bb81bf9&e=005124db53" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><img style="max-width:100%" width="137" height="53" alt="Email Marketing Powered by Mailchimp" title="Mailchimp Email Marketing" src="https://cdn-images.mailchimp.com/monkey_rewards/intuit-mc-rewards-1.png"></a></div></div></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></tbody></table>
