Article Synopsis
- The built environment of a neighborhood can affect youth's health behaviors, community interactions, and feelings of safety, but research into how they perceive these environments is limited.
- A study involving 51 young people in New Orleans identified four main themes: the distress caused by violence, a desire to enjoy their neighborhoods, the impact of systemic failures, and the role of community resources in fostering safety.
- Findings show that even in violent areas, youth wish to engage with their communities and recognize the importance of local parks and cooperative initiatives for enhancing safety and socialization.
Here we report on the relationship between measures of social capital, and their association with changes in self-reported measures of psychological distress during the early period of the COVID-19 pandemic. We analyze data from an existing cluster randomized control trial (the Healthy Neighborhoods Project) with 244 participants from New Orleans, Louisiana. Changes in self-reported scores between baseline (January 2019-March 2020) and participant's second survey (March 20, 2020, and onwards) are calculated.
