DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): With changing family structure and employment opportunities in the United States, young children are highly likely to experience residential mobility and neighborhood change. However, the effects of residential instability on young children are not well understood because research on this age group is limited. The proposed investigation fills this gap in the literature by investigating the precursors and consequences of residential mobility for young children's well-being. Building on the literature on family stress and neighborhood attainment, we propose and test a dynamic model of neighborhood change from infancy to age 5, with data from the Fragile Families and Child Wellbeing Study. Using various analytic techniques, including growth curve modeling and survival analysis, we propose that the impact of residential mobility on child well-being varies with the quality of family events that precede mobility and the neighborhood conditions that follow it. Specifically, we examine determinants of residential mobility, including characteristics of parents, as well as changes in employment, marriage/cohabitation and economic circumstances. Subsequently, we investigate the consequences of residential mobility on neighborhood quality. Third, we examine the contribution of residential mobility and neighborhood conditions to child verbal ability and externalizing and internalizing behavior problems at age 5. In testing these predictions, we propose to geocode the five-year old Fragile Family dataset (wave 4). This application responds to RFA-OD-09-007, Academic Research Enhancement Award (R15), and is consistent with the purpose of this funding mechanism: to strengthen the NIH portfolio at the Graduate Center and to involve students in health research. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: The proposed research addresses effects of residential mobility and neighborhood change on young children's cognitive and behavioral outcomes. Effects in early childhood are amenable to early intervention efforts to prevent long-term negative consequences of events that occur to very young children. Thus, public health interventions are likely to be more effective if delivered at early signs of problems than later when academic and behavioral problems may have accumulated.

描述（由申请人提供）：随着美国家庭结构和就业机会的变化，年幼的孩子很有可能经历居住流动性和邻里变化。然而，由于对这一年龄组的研究有限，居住不稳定对幼儿的影响还没有得到很好的了解。拟议的调查填补了这一空白，在文献中调查的前兆和后果的住宅流动幼儿的福祉。基于家庭压力和邻里成就的文献，我们提出并测试了一个从婴儿期到5岁的邻里变化的动态模型，数据来自脆弱家庭和儿童福利研究。通过使用增长曲线模型和生存分析等分析技术，我们认为，居住地流动对儿童幸福感的影响，会随着家庭活动的质量和周边环境的变化而变化。具体而言，我们考察了居住地流动的决定因素，包括父母的特征，以及就业、婚姻/同居和经济环境的变化。随后，我们调查的住宅流动性对邻里质量的后果。第三，我们研究的贡献，住宅流动性和邻里条件的儿童语言能力和外化和内化的行为问题，在5岁。在测试这些预测时，我们建议对五年前的Fragile Family数据集（第4波）进行地理编码。此应用程序响应RFA-OD-09-007，学术研究增强奖（R15），并与此资助机制的目的是一致的：加强在研究生中心的NIH组合，并让学生参与健康研究。 公共卫生相关性：拟议的研究解决了住宅流动性和邻里变化对幼儿的认知和行为结果的影响。对幼儿期的影响可以通过早期干预努力来解决，以防止发生在幼儿身上的事件产生长期的负面影响。因此，公共卫生干预措施可能会更有效，如果在问题的早期迹象，比以后当学术和行为问题可能已经积累。
