青少年遭受暴力与负面健康结果有关，但成人遭受暴力的证据有限。此外，尚不清楚这些负面关联是否会随着时间的推移而持续存在，以及邻里特征是否会影响此类关联。使用 2481 名大多是低收入城市母亲的样本的纵向数据，逻辑回归表明，在考虑了邻里和社会因素后，接触暴力与一些较差的健康结果相关。此外，这些较差的健康结果在暴力暴露后持续了两年。该分析强调需要投资于预防和减少暴力的努力。
Exposure to violence in youths has been associated with negative health outcomes, yet evidence of such in adults is limited. Additionally, it is unknown whether these negative associations persist over time and whether neighborhood characteristics affect such associations. Using longitudinal data from a sample of 2481 mostly low-income urban mothers, logistic regressions indicate that exposure to violence is associated with several poorer health outcomes after accounting for neighborhood and social factors. Also, these poorer health outcomes persisted for two years after violence exposure. This analysis underscores the need to invest in efforts to prevent and reduce exposure to violence.
