这项研究探索了心理健康与微地理分析单元的位置之间的关系。我们检查了2724名调查受访者的抑郁和创伤后应激障碍的自我报告症状，这些受访者在三种类型的随机选择的街道上接受采访：暴力犯罪热点、冷点和冷点。我们发现，暴力犯罪热点地区的抑郁症的平均症状学分比寒冷地区高61%，创伤后应激障碍的平均症状评分高85%。总体而言，我们估计，暴力犯罪热点地区14.8%的居民达到了中度抑郁或被诊断为创伤后应激障碍的门槛。相比之下，只有6.5%的居民居住在寒冷的地区。使用PSM和加权负二项回归方法，我们表明可观测的选择因素对所识别的关系不起作用。考察地理影响，我们发现暴力犯罪对心理健康措施的重要区域效应，以及特定居住街道对创伤后应激障碍的额外影响。
This study explores the relationship between mental health and place at microgeographic units of analysis. We examine self‐reported symptomology for depression and PTSD for 2,724 survey respondents interviewed in three types of randomly selected street segments: violent crime hot spots, cool spots, and cold spots. We find that the mean symptomology score is 61% higher for depression in violent crime hot spots than cold spots, and 85% higher for PTSD. Overall, we estimate that 14.8% of residents of violent crime hot spots meet thresholds for moderate depression or a diagnosis of PTSD. This can be compared to only 6.5% of residents at the cold spots. Using PSM and weighted negative binomial regression approaches we show that observable selection factors are not responsible for the relationships identified. Examining geographic influences, we find an important area effect of violent crime for both mental health measures, and an additional impact of the specific street of residence for PTSD.
