This article presents different definitions of poverty and the conceptual and empirical challenges of estimating the effects of poverty on mental health. In addition, we introduce the topic of extreme marginalization, with particular reference to homeless people. The article illustrates strategies to reduce poverty and the implications of these strategies for prevention and community-based programs.
Keywords: Poverty, extreme marginality, community-based programs
