Mothers with justice‐involved sons: Socioeconomic impacts of COVID‐19 by neighborhood disorder in the United States

“…Additionally, individuals living in disordered neighborhoods have limited access to health care and therefore struggle maintaining their health and receiving preventative care (Kirby & Kaneda, 2005;Zuberi & Teixeria, 2017). For example, research has found associations between high neighborhood disorder and reduced adherence to HIV treatment regimens (Surratt et al, 2015), poorer glycemic control among Type 1 diabetic adolescents (Queen et al, 2017), fewer mammograms (Davey-Rothwell et al, 2016), and fewer dental visits (Latham-Mintus et al, 2020) among individuals 50 years of age and above.…”

Psychological and neighborhood factors associated with urban women’s preventive care use

“…This disproportionately affects racial/ethnic minorities in part because they are more likely to live in areas with higher levels of disadvantage (Booth, Teixeira, Zuberi, & Wallace, 2018;Mujahid et al, 2017). Neighborhood-level disadvantage is theorized to affect healthcare utilization by impeding actual use of care (e.g., through fear of leaving one's house due to potential victimization or difficulty getting to care due to poor public transportation services; Cronholm & Bowman, 2009;Davey-Rothwell, Bowie, Murray, & Latkin, 2016;Kirby & Kaneda, 2005). Neighborhoods that have lower levels of advantage may also lack social networks that share health information (Kirby & Kaneda, 2005;Prentice, 2006), social support that encourages health (Prentice, 2006), and social capital that may improve and individual's efficacy and self-esteem (Prentice, 2006).…”
