Our latest paper out today @Health_Affairs shows mental health benefits of 2021 #ChildTaxCredit for the lowest-income families. The CTC provided monthly payments for virtually all US families to address pandemic financial hardships. healthaffairs.org/doi/full/10.13… @RWJF @NIMHgov 1/ We also found that CTC had larger benefits for Black & Hispanic families, who suffered even greater economic & health burdens during the pandemic. This translates into important reductions in disparities for families of poorest children. @ia4phs @ChildDefender @ChildrensHW 2/
