کیفیت محله درک شده، فرایندهای خانواده و مسیرهای رفتارهای خارجی در کودکان و نوجوانان در ایالات متحده

Given the pervasiveness of exposure to adverse neighborhood conditions, efforts to reduce concentrated poverty and improve neighborhood environments may improve children and adolescents’ mental health at the population level.
