作者在720名非裔美国妇女中测试了邻里环境、消极生活事件和消极情感作为抑郁症发病的预测因素。社区一级的经济劣势（例如，贫困线以下居民的百分比）和社会混乱（例如，青少年犯罪，吸毒）预测发病的严重抑郁症时，控制个人水平的人口统计学特征。邻里水平的劣势/障碍与负面生活事件相互作用，例如，经历过最近的负面生活事件和生活在高劣势/障碍社区的女性比生活在更良性环境中的女性更容易抑郁，无论是同时还是超过2年。邻里劣势/障碍可以被视为一个脆弱性因素，增加了抑郁症的易感性后的负面生活事件的经验。
The authors tested neighborhood context, negative life events, and negative affectivity as predictors of the onset of major depression among 720 African American women. Neighborhood-level economic disadvantage (e.g., percentage of residents below the poverty line) and social disorder (e.g., delinquency, drug use) predicted the onset of major depression when controlling for individual-level demographic characteristics. Neighborhood-level disadvantage/disorder interacted with negative life events, such that women who experienced recent negative life events and lived in high disadvantage/disorder neighborhoods were more likely to become depressed than were those who lived in more benign settings, both concurrently and over a 2-year period. Neighborhood disadvantage/disorder can be viewed as a vulnerability factor that increases susceptibility to depression following the experience of negative life events.
