“…However, these changes did not translate into associations between neighborhood socio-economic characteristics and depressive symptoms among any racial/ethnic group. The lack of association is consistent with previous studies [5][6][7]. Several factors may partially explain this lack of association, including a waning of influence as people age, or its relative importance to more proximate socioeconomic indicators, such as income, occupation or level of education [2,3,55].…”

“…In meta-reviews, Mair et al and Richardson et al highlighted that most studies have found low SES, most commonly measured as economic disadvantage or deprivation, to be associated with higher depressive symptoms (or conversely neighborhood affluence and wealth indictors to be associated with lower risks) [1,3]. More recently however, Fang et al and Goldstein et al found no association between neighborhood SES and depression, and Brazil and Clark, and Estrada-Martínez et al found associations among some groups, but not others [4][5][6][7]. Researchers have argued that neighborhood SES can affect depression through several mechanisms, including social connections with neighbors, availability and quality of health care (especially mental health) and recreational facilities, quality of housing, educational and occupational opportunities, and feelings of (un)safety that impose stress on the lives of their residents [1,2,18].…”

“…It also found that among those who moved to low poverty neighborhoods, both the immediate and surrounding neighborhood-level poverty were key in improving mental health outcomes [19]. Fong et al found that there was no association between changes in neighborhood SES and depressive symptoms among Australian adolescents, adults, or older adults [6]. Brazil and Clark examined the association between depressive symptoms and changes in neighborhood poverty from adolescence to emerging adulthood [7].…”

“…There is an extensive body of research on how neighborhoods can minimize and exasperate depression among individuals [1][2][3]. The impact of neighborhood socioeconomic status (SES) and racial/ethnic composition on the mental health of people of color in the United States (USA) has received significant attention, with mixed findings [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9]. Neighborhood environments have been identified as important sources of both stress and protection for individuals [10,11].…”

The role of neighborhood socioeconomic status (SES) and racial/ethnic composition on depression has received considerable attention in the United States. This study examines associations between trajectory patterns of neighborhood changes and depressive symptoms using data from Waves I-IV of the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health. We used latent class growth analysis to determine the number and distribution of person-centered trajectories for neighborhood characteristics, and multilevel growth curve models to examine how belonging to each class impacted depression trajectories from ages 13 to 32 among non-Hispanic Whites (NHW), non-Hispanic Blacks (NHB), Hispanics, and non-Hispanic Others (NHO). The distribution of neighborhood SES classes across racial/ethnic groups suggests significant levels of economic inequality, but had no effect on depressive symptoms. A more complex picture emerged on the number and distribution of racial/ethnic composition latent class trajectories. Compared to NHB peers who lived in predominantly NHW neighborhoods from adolescence to adulthood, NHBs in more diverse neighborhoods had lower risk for depressive symptoms. Conversely, Hispanics living in neighborhoods with fewer NHWs had higher risk for depressive symptoms. Among NHOs, living in neighborhoods with a critical mass of other NHOs had a protective effect against depressive symptoms.

“…Whilst the consortium had acknowledged the critical role of 'social connectedness' within healthy and active ageing, this was largely confined to interaction with other people. Priorities for workshop participants indicated that the concept of connectedness should extend beyond friends and family to the 'Involvement of others/community' [38][39][40]. It was recommended that the consortium also consider the role of, and interactions with, animals, pets, transport personnel (e.g.…”

BackgroundThere is a need to develop innovative solutions to enhance safe and green physical environments, which optimise health, wellbeing and community participation among older adults. In order to develop solutions that meet the needs of a diverse ageing population, an interdisciplinary approach is needed.Our aim was to identify the needs of older people in relation to ageing well in the environment by bringing together knowledge from different stakeholder and interdisciplinary perspectives. MethodsAn international consortium (Retrofit living For ageing well through Understanding and Redesign of Built environments consortium: ReFURB) was established in April 2018, including ten core members, to (i) explore cutting-edge solutions to safe living for ageing populations and (ii) develop innovative approaches to everyday physical environments, which bring about health benefits. We used a codesign, interdisciplinary framework involving older adults, carers, physiotherapists, geriatricians, engineers, human movement experts, geographers and psychologists from the UK and Australia. This engaged people in a one day workshop that comprised a series of presentations from international speakers on urban design, social connectedness, hazards and injury prevention, and the physical environment. Small group discussions (facilitated by consortium members) followed presentations to consider the opportunities, challenges and barriers encountered with ageing, which included the use of creative engagement activities (LEGO® Serious Play, mind maps, poster gallery walk), to help participants share personal stories and reflect on the issues raised. Thematic coding was used to synthesise the outputs of the small group work. ResultsFive themes emerged across the workshops, comprising: access and transport; involvement of the whole community; restoration rather than redesign; assistive and digital technology; and intergenerational approaches. These dimensions related to the physical, social and nature-based qualities of everyday environments, as they pertain to ageing well. Conclusions

Two samples of 227 and 214 adults completed surveys of social support, perceived risk of COVID-19 and COVID-19 preventive activity – in Study 1 likelihood of testing was examined and in Study 2 likelihood of both testing and vaccination were examined during the COVID-19 pandemic in the United Kingdom. Path analysis showed, in Study 1, that access to help (as an indicator of social support) had a direct effect on likelihood of testing and indirect effects through self-efficacy, perceived risk and preventive behavior; and, in Study 2, that neighborhood identification (as an indicator of social support) had a direct effect on likelihood of testing and indirect effects on likelihood of both testing and vaccination through the mediators of strength of social network, loneliness, perceived risk of COVID-19, and preventive activity. Both studies suggest that level of social support (conceptualized in different ways) is an important determinant of COVID-19 testing and Study 2 shows it is also a determinant of likelihood of vaccination. As resurgences of COVID-19 occur, it will be necessary to monitor the likelihood of COVID-19 testing and vaccination behaviors and, especially, to promote confidence in the latter in individuals with decreased access to social support.
