“…Nine observational studies (Bayer et al, 2011;Behnke et al, 2010;Boyle and Lipman, 2002;Caughy et al, 2008;Ford et al, 2004;Schneiders et al, 2003;Simons et al, 2002;Wight et al, 2005;Xue et al, 2005) included a community measure of disadvantage. Using the Stouffer method, the combined effect on child depressive symptoms across all studies was not significant (N = 46,171, p = 0.073, Effect Size [ES] = 0.025).…”

Objective: Depression has been identified as a priority disorder among children and adolescents. While numerous reviews have examined the individual and family factors that contribute to child and adolescent depressive symptoms, less is known about community-level risk and protective factors. The aim of this study was to complete a systematic review to identify community risk and protective factors for depression in school-aged children (4-18 years). Method:The review adopted the procedures recommended by the Cochrane Non-Randomised Studies Methods Working Group and the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. A comprehensive literature search was conducted to identify both observational and intervention study designs in both peer-reviewed and non-peer reviewed publications.Results: A total of 21 studies met the inclusion criteria. Seventeen of the 18 community association studies and 2 of the 3 intervention studies reported one or more significant effects. Results indicated that community safety and community minority ethnicity and discrimination act as risk factors for depressive symptoms in school-aged children. Community disadvantage failed to achieve significance in meta-analytic results but findings suggest that the role of disadvantage may be influenced by other factors. Community connectedness was also not directly associated with depressive symptoms. Conclusion:There is evidence that a number of potentially modifiable community-level risk and protective factors influence child and adolescent depressive symptoms suggesting the importance of continuing research and intervention efforts at the community-level.

“…Al though the association between social disadvantage and behavior in childhood and adolescence is well recognized, 1 the nature of that relationship still remains unclear. It has been suggested that social disadvantage predicts psychopathology largely by virtue of its impact on development more generally.…”

“…We found that neighbourhoods differ only marginally in the extent of youth delinquency. For the Dutch situation this is not so surprising considering the research of Rovers (1997) and of Schneiders et al (2003), who also found only small differences between neighbourhoods. In Germany, Oberwittler (2004) too found only small differences between neighbourhoods.…”

A B S T R A C TPrevious research on intercity differences in crime rates neglects individual determinants of youth delinquency, whereas studies focusing on neighbourhoodand individual-level explanations of youth delinquency neglect higher-level, city characteristics. This raises the question of the extent to which city characteristics can contribute to the explanation of youth delinquency, above and beyond the influence of neighbourhood and individual characteristics. To answer this question we first discuss how previous macro-level research explains city differences in crime rates, and then we test whether there is empirical evidence that youth delinquency differs not only between individuals but also between neighbourhoods and, moreover, between cities. Using data collected among 12-17-year-old adolescents from 11 Dutch cities, multilevel analyses revealed that there is a substantial amount of variance to be explained at the city level, even after controlling for composition effects and differences between surveys. In contrast with previous research studying neighbourhood influences on youth delinquency but neglecting the city level, we found very little variance at the neighbourhood level. Possible explanations and implications for future research are given by linking explanations at the different levels.
