随着地点与健康之间关系的证据越来越多，越来越多的流行病学家和临床科学研究人员开始对将基于地点的测量和分析纳入他们对人口健康和健康不公平的检查中感兴趣。鉴于广泛的文献的地方和健康，它可以是具有挑战性的新的研究人员到这一领域开发邻里效应的研究问题，并适用于适当的措施和方法。本文提供了一个路线图，指导健康研究人员通过概念和方法的阶段，将各种层面的地方到他们的定量健康研究。综合评论，评论和实证调查，路线图包括考虑地点和健康的4个主要阶段：1）为什么？：阐明评估场所和健康的动机，并将动机建立在理论基础上; 2）什么？：确定相关的基于地点的特征，并具体说明其与健康的联系，以建立一个概念框架; 3）如何？：确定如何通过定义、测量和评估基于地点的特征并量化其对健康的影响来实施概念框架;以及4）现在怎么办？讨论邻里研究结果对未来研究，政策和实践的影响。该路线图支持开发概念和分析严谨的邻里研究项目的努力。
As evidence of the relationship between place and health mounts, more epidemiologists and clinical science researchers are becoming interested in incorporating place-based measures and analyses into their examination of population health and health inequities. Given the extensive literature on place and health, it can be challenging for researchers new to this area to develop neighborhood-effects research questions and apply the appropriate measures and methods. This paper provides a road map for guiding health researchers through the conceptual and methodological stages of incorporating various dimensions of place into their quantitative health research. Synthesizing across reviews, commentaries, and empirical investigations, the road map consists of 4 broad stages for considering place and health: 1)why?: articulating the motivation for assessing place and health and grounding the motivation in theory; 2)what?: identifying the relevant place-based characteristics and specifying their link to health to build a conceptual framework; 3)how?: determining how to operationalize the conceptual framework by defining, measuring, and assessing place-based characteristics and quantifying their effect on health; and 4)now what?: discussing the implications of neighborhood research findings for future research, policy, and practice. This road map supports efforts to develop conceptually and analytically rigorous neighborhood research projects.
