“…Consistent with previous research (Bures, 2003;Murayama et al, 2012), we expect that higher perceived neighborhood cohesion will predict fewer daily stressors, lower daily levels of negative affect and physical symptoms, and higher levels of positive affect. We also predict neighborhood cohesion will buffer the effects of daily stressors on these outcomes.…”

“…Perceiving one's neighborhood as unsafe or lacking cohesion is precarious to health (Bures, 2003), and chronic exposure to these neighborhoods may wear down the body's physiological regulatory systems. As previously described, perceptions of neighborhood cohesion may reflect perceptions of neighborhood-level social support, and this support may have salutary associations with residents' physiological functioning.…”

“…Nonetheless, several studies indicate the potential importance of this neighborhood social feature for several health-related outcomes. People living in neighborhoods perceived as less cohesive self-report worse health (Bures, 2003). A recent study also found that people living in more cohesive neighborhoods are less affectively reactive to daily hassles such as arguments (Robinette, Charles, Mogel, & Almeida, 2013).…”

“…People living in low SES neighborhoods generally have worse health than their counterparts living in higher SES neighborhoods. A smaller but growing literature suggests that residents' appraisals, or perceptions of the quality of their neighborhoods are also related to their health (Bures, 2003). Yet, the vast majority of research examining health in the context of neighborhoods focuses on one neighborhood feature in isolation (primarily SES).…”

Do places make a difference to people's health and well-being? This book demonstrates how the physical and social characteristics of a neighborhood can shape the health of its residents. Researchers have long suspected that where one lives makes a difference to health in addition to who one is. Almost everyone understands that smoking, unhealthy eating, lack of exercise can compromise longevity and good health, but can a person's ability to maintain a healthy lifestyle be affected by the smoking habits of other people close by, or access to grocery stores, or the existence of safe parks and recreational space? The answers to this question and other similar ones require new ways of thinking about the determinants of health as well as new analytical methods to test these ideas. This book brings together these ideas and new methods. The book contains various parts. The first part deals with methodological complexities of undertaking neighborhood research. The second part showcases the empirical evidence linking neighborhood conditions to health outcomes. The last part tackles some of the major cross-cutting themes in contemporary neighborhood research.

“…Unstable housing in childhood has been associated with poor adult health. 65,66 For first-generation homeowners, the physical and mental health of their social networks may be strained when foreclosure occurs, as the more resourced person (the homeowner) is under more stress and thus less able to provide support. 63 African American populations feel the impacts in health that result from widening existing inequalities in the social determinants of health such as income, asset and intergenerational wealth accumulation, and access to higher education.…”

Mortgage Foreclosure and Health Disparities: Serial Displacement as Asset Extraction in African American Populations

2011

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

In this paper we offer a conceptualization of mortgage foreclosure as serial displacement by highlighting the current crisis in the context of historically repeated extraction of capital-economic, social, and human-from communities defined at different scales: geographically, socially, and that of embodied individuals. We argue that serial displacement is the loss of capital, physical resources, social integration and collective capacity, and psycho-social resources at each of these scales, with losses at one level affecting other levels. The repeated extraction of resources has negative implications for the health of individuals and groups, within generations as well as across generations, through the accumulation of loss over time. Our analysis of the foreclosure crisis as serial displacement for African American households in the United States begins with the "housing niche" model. We focus on the foreclosure crisis as an example of the interconnectedness of structured inequality in health and housing. Then we briefly review the history of policies related to racial inequality in homeownership in the twentieth and twentyfirst centuries. We end with an analysis of the scales of displacement and the human, social, and capital asset extraction that accompany them.

Little is known about the impact of perceived neighborhood danger on military veterans' mental health, a population potentially at higher risk for this experience, or whether interpersonal social support and neighborhood cohesion can help buffer against poor mental health. This study examined: (1) the impact of perceived neighborhood danger on depression and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) among veterans; (2) whether interpersonal social support and neighborhood cohesion can mitigate these effects; and (3) how prior trauma history may interact with these factors. Six moderation models were examined using data from 3049 veterans enrolled in the Longitudinal Investigation of Gender, Health, and Trauma study, a mail‐based survey that oversampled for veterans in high crime neighborhoods. Most notably, results indicated that perceived neighborhood danger was associated with increased depression and PTSD (all p < .001). Interpersonal social support or neighborhood cohesion mitigated the effect of perceived neighborhood danger on veterans' depression, but, only for those without prior trauma (all p < .011). For trauma‐exposed veterans, interpersonal social support was more effective in mitigating the effect of perceived neighborhood danger on depression than neighborhood cohesion (p = .006). Findings help inform interventions to improve the mental health of veterans living in high crime neighborhoods.
