Neighborhoods and child abuse: Multiple informant perspectives.

Introduction: Using data from the nationally representative longitudinal Future of Families and Child Wellbeing Study, the current study sought to examine associations between neighborhood disorder and physical characteristics of the neighborhood at child age three with the likelihood of experiencing physical and psychological abuse and neglect at age five.

Methods: Negative binomial regression and zero inflated negative binomial regression models were used to estimate the associations.

Results: Resident perceptions of neighborhood disorder and outside observation of neighborhood physical characteristics were both found to be independently related to the likelihood of physical assault.
