Document Summary
Hard to study (or measure) the effect that neighborhoods have on adolescent. Social transitions (cont"d) development: not easy to separate effects of neighborhood disadvantage from the effects of family disadvantage, more nuanced. In study, those who moved to more affluent neighborhoods had increased substance-use. Adolescents growing up in low ses, urban communities are more likely to: be sexually active at earlier age, bear children as teenagers, become involved in criminal activities, achieve less in (or drop out of) high school. Id neighborhoods are of low ses: the collective efficacy of the neighborhood is undermined. If neighborhoods are of low ses: undermine collective efficacy of neighborhood, stress of poverty undermines quality of interpersonal relationships, fewer chances to engage in activities that facilitate positive development, fewer resources available during difficult times. Teaching a parent how to parent is an effective outreach program: factors that help protect against harmful effects of neighborhood stressors.
