The role of the built environment, food prices and neighborhood poverty in fruit and vegetable consumption
Built environment exposures of adults in the moving to opportunity experiment
This paper describes environmental exposures of adult participants in the Moving to Opportunity for Fair Housing (MTO) experiment over a four to seven year period from baseline to the interim evaluation. The MTO experiment randomized participants living in public housing or private assisted housing at baseline into experimental and control groups and provided a housing voucher for experimental group participants to move to neighborhoods with less…
Why does child maltreatment occur? Caregiver perspectives and analyses of neighborhood structural factors across twenty years
Two sides of the same neighborhood? Multilevel analysis of residents’ and child-welfare workers’ perspectives on neighborhood social disorder and collective efficacy
Neighborhood processes have been shown to influence child maltreatment rates, and accordingly neighborhood-based strategies have been suggested as helpful in intervening in and preventing child maltreatment. Although child-welfare workers are at the forefront of child maltreatment work, little is known about the extent to which their perspectives on neighborhood processes related to child maltreatment align with those of neighborhood residents. T…
Temporal effects of distressed housing on early childhood risk factors and kindergarten readiness
Poor housing quality and housing crises have been linked to adverse outcomes for children. However, few studies have focused on the early childhood period or been able to pinpoint how the timing and duration of housing problems contributes to early educational success. This longitudinal study draws on linked administrative records from housing, education, social service and health agencies to examine the influence of exposure to housing neighborh…
Housing Unit Turnover and the Socioeconomic Mix of Low-Income Neighborhoods
A number of place-based policies attempt to deconcentrate poverty, yet not enough is known about how the socioeconomic mix of low-income neighborhoods evolves nor the role of residential mobility in this evolution. This study focuses on changes in low-income neighborhoods as they transpire at the micro level of housing unit turnover. Using a unique panel survey of low-income neighborhoods, the study examines how characteristics of previous occupa…
How Big is My Neighborhood? Individual and Contextual Effects on Perceptions of Neighborhood Scale
Neighborhood is a social and geographic concept that plays an increasingly important role in research and practice that address disparities in health and well‐being of populations. However, most studies of neighborhoods, as well as community initiatives geared toward neighborhood improvement, make simplifying assumptions about boundaries, often relying on census geography to operationalize the neighborhood units. This study used geographic inform…
Do employment and type of exit influence child maltreatment among families leaving Temporary Assistance for Needy Families
State Tanf Policies and Employment Outcomes among Welfare Leavers
This study examines the extent to which employment outcomes for welfare leavers differ depending on TANF policies adopted by states. Data on welfare leavers come from the 1996 panel of the Survey of Income and Program Participation. Policies in the leavers’ states of residence are characterized by factor scores. Results suggest that employment and job quality outcomes for welfare leavers are associated with several aspects of states’ TANF rules. …

Indicators of child well-being through a neighborhood lens
Building Community Capacity for Violence Prevention
The capacity of communities to prevent violence is examined fromthree perspectives: youth violence, child maltreatment, and intimate partner violence. The analysis suggests that community social control and collective efficacy are significant protective factors for all three types of violence, but these need to be further distinguished for their relationships to private, parochial, and state controls. It is argued that strong interpersonal ties a…
Metropolitan Inequities and the Ecology of Work
Profound place‐based disparities in opportunity structures and social and institutional resources affect labor market success, especially for the large numbers of welfare recipients who live in urban areas. This article argues that social and economic processes within metropolitan areas sort jobs and job seekers geographically and segment their networks, posing employment barriers for many welfare‐reliant individuals. Cities and neighborhoods can…
Mapping Residents' Perceptions of Neighborhood Boundaries
Neighborhood influences on children and youth are the subjects of increasing numbers of studies, but there is concern that these investigations may be biased, because they typically rely on census‐based units as proxies for neighborhoods. This pilot study tested several methods of defining neighborhood units based on maps drawn by residents, and compared the results with census definitions of neighborhoods. When residents' maps were used to creat…
Neighborhoods and child maltreatment
Measuring neighborhood context for young children in an urban area
Awareness of worsening conditions in urban areas has led to a growing interest in how neighborhood context affects children. Although the ecological perspective within child development has acknowledged the relevance of community factors, methods of measuring the neighborhood context for children have been quite limited. An approach to measuring neighborhood environments was tested using the average perceptions of caregivers of young children sam…
The Role of Neighbors and the Government in Neighborhood‐Based Child Protection
This paper addresses the policy recommendation that child protection efforts be reoriented to the neighborhood level. Residents of neighborhoods with varying rates of reported child maltreatment were questioned as to the roles of neighbors and/or the government in preventing child abuse and neglect. Residents in all neighborhoods were more optimistic that neighbors could prevent child maltreatment than they were about government action. Actions b…
Geographic Concentration of Affluence and Poverty in 100 Metropolitan Areas, 1990
The geographic concentration of poverty and affluence is examined for the 100 largest metropolitan areas. Concentration of poverty and affluence are uncorrelated, but metropolitan areas can be classified into five types based on six indices of concentration and affluence. The types differ significantly in their racial and ethnic segregation, the relative advantage of the central city as compared to the suburbs, and the economic inequality in the …

Geographic Concentration of Poverty and Risk to Children in Urban Neighborhoods
Implications of DRG Payments for Medical Intensive Care
Patients in the most prevalent DRGs in a Medical Intensive Care Unit (MICU) were compared with their counterparts who received only routine hospital care on adjusted total hospital costs and length of stay. Costs for both groups were compared with estimated DRG payments under an all-payer system. For patients in three DRGs, measures of severity of illness were examined as predictors of costs. Significant differences between MICU and routine care …
Social Justice and Rationing Social Services
This paper discusses the ethical implications of different mechanisms used by social agencies to ration scarce social services. Mechanisms such as "queing," "creaming," and "triage" are discussed from the perspective of two theories of social justice; i.e., John S. Mill and John Rawls. The purpose of the paper is to encourage more explicit examination of the assumptions that underlie the distribution of social services. It is the authors' content…
Developing an Instrument to Measure Person-Environment Fit
Social workers have always been interested in the congruence between people's needs, capacities, and aspirations and the resources, demands, and opportunities of their environments. This concept has been referred to as person-environment fit. This article describes a study that developed and tested an instrument to measure this concept within a sample of hospital patients. Using a combination of ethnomethodological and survey methods, a multidime…
