“…Future studies might also consider both objective and subjective neighbourhood measures and accessibility of services and amenities such as green space that might mitigate deleterious effects of neighbourhood disadvantage 55. Multiple statistical approaches could be utilised, including spatial analyses that take conditions of nearby neighbourhoods into account and provide finer-grained characterisation of respondents’ neighbourhoods.…”

BackgroundResidents of disadvantaged neighbourhoods report higher levels of depressive symptoms; however, few studies have employed prospective designs during adolescence, when depression tends to emerge. We examined associations of neighbourhood social fragmentation, income inequality and median household income with depressive symptoms in a nationally representative survey of adolescents.MethodsThe NEXT Generation Health Study enrolled 10th-grade students from 81 US high schools in the 2009–2010 school year. Depressive symptoms were assessed with the Modified Depression Scale (wave 1) and the paediatric Patient-Reported Outcome Measurement Information System (waves 2–6). Neighbourhood characteristics at waves 1, 3, 4, and 5 were measured at the census tract level using geolinked data from the American Community Survey 5-year estimates. We used linear mixed models to relate neighbourhood disadvantage to depressive symptoms controlling for neighbourhood and individual sociodemographic factors.ResultsNone of the models demonstrated evidence for associations of social fragmentation, income inequality or median household income with depressive symptoms.ConclusionDespite the prospective design, repeated measures and nationally representative sample, we detected no association between neighbourhood disadvantage and depressive symptoms. This association may not exist or may be too small to detect in a geographically dispersed sample. Given the public health significance of neighbourhood effects, future research should examine the developmental timing of neighbourhood effects across a wider range of ages than in the current sample, consider both objective and subjective measures of neighbourhood conditions, and use spatially informative techniques that account for conditions of nearby neighbourhoods.

“…The PNEQ [5,8] is a questionnaire with 32 statement items about the home environment of the DMT2 patient. All those statement items are classified into five domains, which are physical order (10 items), land use and services (13 items), social norms and values (2 items), social capital (4 items), and social order (3 items).…”

“…[5] Distress can come from within the DMT2 subject, such as unstable emotional states, or external factors, such as difficulties in contacting the doctor, therapeutic management or unsupportive family and surrounding circumstances. [5][6][7][8] Few studies have delved deeper into the extent of inconvenient living environment around the DMT2 patient as a source of distress. DMT2 subjects are typically recommended to maintain a healthy lifestyle and always do physical exercise, but such advice is sometimes considered hard to apply due to, for instance, a lack of viable sports facilities or restricted access to healthy food.…”

“…DMT2 subjects are typically recommended to maintain a healthy lifestyle and always do physical exercise, but such advice is sometimes considered hard to apply due to, for instance, a lack of viable sports facilities or restricted access to healthy food. [5,8,9] To our knowledge, only one international publication has studied the correlation between distress and the home environment of DMT2 patients. [5] QoL consists of three main components, namely physical and psychological conditions and the ability to interact with the surrounding environment.…”

“…[9] Likewise, supporting facilities around the house, including accessibility to healthy foods and feasible sports facilities, can favorably influence the psychological condition of a DMT2 subject. [5,8,9] The identification of neighborhood as a reason for DMT2 distress requires a valid and reliable instrument. This background serves as rationale for this study, which aims to translate and adapt the Perceived Neighborhood Environment Questionnaire (PNEQ) [5,8] to Indonesian and validate the translated version.…”

The success of diabetes mellitus type 2 (DMT2) therapy does not solely depend on laboratory test results, but is also influenced by the patients' quality of life (QoL). Patients' QoL is affected by numerous factors, including distress and their home environment. This study aims to acquire a valid and reliable instrument concerning neighborhood conditions felt by DMT2 subjects. The research applied a cross-sectional design with adult DMT2 patients at the Local General Hospital Moewardi Solo. The Perceived Neighborhood Environment Questionnaire (PNEQ) was translated from English to Indonesian with the procedure of forwardbackward translation. Statistical analyses were conducted to determine reliability, discriminant, convergent and known-group validity. The three domains of PNEQ have low reliability (Cronbach's alpha <0.7), while three questions have not met convergent validity and only one question has not attained discriminant validity. The PNEQ can be used on the Indonesian people with further explanations on questions that have not achieved reliability and validity.

Multiple vulnerabilities: The effects of neighborhood structural changes upon older residents' mental health and perceptions of the broader community

Neighborhoods' structural conditions are consequential for their social circumstances and residents' well-being. Neighborhood effects might be accentuated among older residents because their daily activities and social lives are more confined to their immediate communities. This study examines how changing neighborhood socioeconomic disadvantage affects older residents' depression and stress, as well as perceptions of neighborhood context. This study employed waves 2 (2010-2011) and 3 (2015-2016) of the National Social Life, Health, and Aging Project survey (N = 2357) and fixed-effects linear regression models to study these relationships. While rising neighborhood socioeconomic disadvantage was associated with more depression and stress, it was negatively associated with overall neighborhood social capital and neighborhood social cohesion, and was only associated with lower perceptions of neighborhood safety among respondents who relocated to new neighborhoods. Beyond cross-sectional associations, changing neighborhood socioeconomic disadvantage is associated
