Although there's often no way around many of the aggravations occurring during this process, there are some ways of mitigating the adversity and obtaining better results.
Lodal is now focusing on incorporating the latest science related to brain development into LIFT's work, to interrupt the inter-generational transmission of poverty by helping low-income and poor parents mitigate toxic stress and early adversity for their children.
In accordance with findings in the resilience research [ 35, 37], our results showed that other trusted adults may mitigate the bad influence of adversity, in this case loneliness.
The longitudinal associations could not be attributed to life-course continuity of low socioeconomic status, and upward mobility did not mitigate or reverse the adverse effects of low childhood socioeconomic status on adult health.Protecting children against the effects of socioeconomic adversity could reduce the burden of disease experienced by adults.
In an August 2011 commentary in Science, Center Director Jack P. Shonkoff makes the case for scientists, practitioners, and policymakers to work together to design and test creative new interventions that mitigate the harmful effects of significant adversity in early childhood.
However, it is still not clear which specific domains of adult cognition are associated with early socioeconomic conditions and to what extent current socioeconomic conditions, especially education, can mitigate or overcome the effects of early socioeconomic adversity that were found in this and earlier studies.
You always have to mitigate".
How to mitigate this trend?
Can we mitigate climate change?
Thus, we are struck with what we might call the exacerbatory dynamic of poverty: the people in society who face the greatest structural adversity, far from mitigating this by their lifestyles, behave in such ways as to make it worse, even when they are provided with the opportunity to do otherwise.
