Perceived Neighborhood Safety and Social Support During Childhood and its Impact on Mental Health
Abstract
Neighborhood-level traits such as poverty, lower education, and high crime are linked with worse mental health outcomes. Social capital, such as neighbors that watch out for each other, can protect against the negative impact of neighborhood deterioration. Less is known about how perceived neighborhood trust and safety protects against mental illness. This project uses statistical and spatial (mapping) analyses to better understand the impact of changeable neighborhood characteristics on mental health, and proposes a way to use population-level risk factors to assess service need and adequacy of community resources.
