这项研究建立在现有的研究，研究是否风险指数儿童心理健康的行为在不同类型的社区以相同的方式。具体来说，我们试图确定邻里特征是否会加剧或缓冲家庭和/或儿童层面的风险因素。2002年秋季，有一个孩子进入一年级的家庭从巴尔的摩市的社区招募，定义为人口普查街区组。这项研究包括405名儿童，数据来自对主要照顾者的采访和对一年级学生的评估。因变量为外化行为和内化问题。由13项措施组成的家庭风险指数和由3项措施组成的儿童风险指数是主要的独立变量。我们研究了这些指数对儿童心理健康和行为的影响，两个邻居的特点：社区参与儿童和社区负面社会气氛的邻居潜力。多变量分析的结果表明，累积的家庭风险与增加的内在和外在的行为问题。认为负面的社会气候缓和的影响，家庭风险的行为问题，使更多的风险是与一个更大的增量在两个外化的行为问题和心理问题的儿童生活在高风险与低风险的社区。这些发现进一步强调了在儿童心理健康研究中考虑邻里背景的重要性。
This study builds upon existing research by examining whether risk indices for child psychological well-being behave in the same way in different types of neighborhoods. Specifically, we sought to determine if neighborhood characteristics acted to exacerbate or, alternatively, to buffer risk factors at the family and/or child level. Families with a child entering first grade in Fall 2002 were recruited from Baltimore City neighborhoods, defined as census block groups. This study included 405 children, and data came from an interview with the primary caregiver and an assessment of the first grader. The dependent variables were externalizing behavior and internalizing problems. A family risk index consisting of 13 measures, and a child risk index consisting of three measures were the main independent variables of interest. We examined the effects of these indices on child psychological well-being and behavior across two neighborhood characteristics: neighborhood potential for community involvement with children and neighborhood negative social climate. Results of multivariate analyses indicated that cumulative family risk was associated with an increase in both internalizing and externalizing behavior problems. Perceived negative social climate moderated the effect of family risks on behavior problems such that more risk was associated with a larger increment in both externalizing behavior problems and psychological problems for children living in high versus low risk neighborhoods. These findings further emphasize the importance of considering neighborhood context in the study of child psychological well-being.
