以前的研究表明，贫困人口集中的社区和女性户主家庭的居民患抑郁症的风险更高。本研究通过两种可能的中介机制：感知邻里障碍和社会关系（社会支持和邻里社会关系）来考察社会经济弱势社区对个体心理健康的影响。这些数据是从1995年的社区，犯罪和健康调查样本组成的2482成年人和1998年的后续调查。研究结果表明，居民的弱势社区有显着更高的水平的心理困扰比居民的更多的弱势社区的社会关系和邻里障碍作为调解人的介绍。邻里劣势通过三种方式与抑郁相关：（1）邻里劣势直接增加抑郁;（2）邻里劣势通过邻里障碍增加抑郁;（3）邻里劣势通过增强社会关系减少抑郁。(C)2009 Elsevier Inc.

Previous studies have shown that residents of neighborhoods with the concentration of poverty and female-headed households are at higher risk for depression. This study examines the effect of socioeconomically disadvantaged neighborhood on individual mental health by considering two possible mediating mechanisms: perceived neighborhood disorder and social relationships (social support and neighborhood social ties). The data were obtained from the 1995 Community, Crime, and Health survey sample consisting of 2482 adults and from a 1998 follow-up survey. Findings indicate that residents of disadvantaged neighborhoods have significantly higher levels of psychological distress than do residents of more advantaged neighborhoods with the introduction of social relationships and neighborhood disorder as mediators. Neighborhood disadvantage is associated with depression in three ways: (1) neighborhood disadvantage increased depression directly, (2) neighborhood disadvantage increased depression by way of neighborhood disorder, and (3) neighborhood disadvantage decreased depression through enhanced social relationships.
