Abstract

Today, two factors, poverty and mental health, are among the most important and influential issues related to informal settlements. Since it seems necessary to address the issue of poverty and health in order to provide, maintain and promote the health of people in marginalized areas, it is necessary to examine the causal relationship between poverty and health and assess their impact on the lives of marginalized citizens. Therefore, the aim of the present study is to analyze the effects of poverty on mental health in the study area. In this regard, the present study is in terms of applied purpose, in terms of descriptive-analytical nature. The statistical population of this study is citizens living in the suburbs of Ardabil (Iranabad) (4,000 people). 352 people were determined by Cochran's mathematical formula method and they were sampled by simple random method. In this regard, in order to evaluate the effectiveness of the components of poor poverty and mental health, the structural analysis model of partial minimum squares in the form of Smart-PLS software has been used. The research results also show that there is a significant and inverse relationship between ability poverty and health and this type of poverty has a high impact on the mental health of citizens.
