Parental support and transparency as functions of annual household income and their home census tract’s area deprivation index. Error bars represent ±1 between-subjects standard error of the means. Analyses controlled for caregiver/parental education, caregiver/parent race, caregiver/parent ethnicity, child sex, child age, questionnaire number, participants’ baseline study site, and participant. Parental “reassurance” refers to how much parents agreed with, “I have told my child that everything will be okay.” Parental encouragement refers to how much parents agreed with, “I have encouraged my child not to focus on coronavirus or its impacts on people and the world.” “Own Feelings” refers to how much parents agreed with “I discussed with my child my own feelings about coronavirus and its impact on people and the world.” “Avoid Talking” refers to how much parents agreed with, “I have avoided talking to my child about coronavirus.” “Not Fully Safe” refers to how much parents agreed with, “I have expressed concern to my child that they might not be fully safe from coronavirus.” “Life Changes” refers to how much parents agree with, “I have prepared my child for our lives to change significantly.” Area deprivation index was collapsed across continuous deciles for graphing. Dep. = Deprived.
