Description
Summary:[...]of both sets of processes, variation is tremendous in economic status, labor market opportunities, core institutions such as schools, environmental hazards, and social networks across city blocks, neighborhoods, cities and towns, metropolitan areas, and regions. [...]limitations are possible in the range of places to which study participants moved or were assigned because of where available private rental or subsidized housing was located, thereby reducing the power of statistical tests to discern context effects. [...]Jokela (2014) uses the fixed-effect modeling approach and finds no impact of neighborhood disadvantage on self-rated health, mental health and physical functioning, and amount of physical activity, instead finding evidence of selection of those with poorer health into more disadvantaged neighborhoods. [...]Santiago and her colleagues (2014) find strong neighborhood effects on the diagnoses of several child and adolescent health problems (asthma, obesity) using data from the Denver public housing natural experiment, although the relationships often depended on gender and ethnicity and in some cases manifested nonlinear thresholds.
