只有有限的有效量化评估方法来衡量可能构成环境预防措施基础的建筑和社会环境的特征。这项研究描述了一种对暴力、酒精和其他药物(VAOD)暴露的可疑环境决定因素进行流行病学评估的模型方法，并填补了当前研究中的这一空白。这项调查旨在测试对与身体和社会障碍有关的居民区特征以及VAOD暴露指标进行系统和纵向评估的可行性。平面测量数据被用来建立城市大都市区限定社区内街道路段的分层随机样本。使用社区环境类型调查(NIfETy)对这些社区街道路段进行现场评分员评估。本报告详细介绍了NIfETy方法，包括NIfETy仪器的度量特性以及培训程序和质量控制措施的结果。还给出了块级特征和VAOD活动的可观测迹象的估计。这项工作是朝着开发未来社区层面的环境预防干预措施迈出的第一步，旨在减少城市青年人口中社区VAOD的暴露，并可能被证明对其他公共卫生研究小组也有用。
There are limited validated quantitative assessment methods to measure features of the built and social environment that might form the basis for environmental preventive interventions. This study describes a model approach for epidemiologic assessment of suspected environmental determinants of violence, alcohol and other drug (VAOD) exposure and fills this gap in current research. The investigation sought to test the feasibility of a systematic and longitudinal assessment of residential block characteristics related to physical and social disorder and indicators of VAOD exposure. Planometric data were used to establish a stratified random sample of street segments within defined neighborhoods of an urban metropolitan area. Field rater assessments of these neighborhood street segments were conducted using the Neighborhood Inventory for Environmental Typology (NIfETy). This report provides a detailed description of the NIfETy Method, including metric properties of the NIfETy Instrument and outcomes of training procedures and quality control measures. Also presented are block-level characteristics and estimates of observable signs of VAOD activity. This work is a first step toward developing future community-level environmental preventive interventions geared to reduce community VAOD exposure among youthful urban populations and may prove to be useful to other public health research groups as well.
