In this paper, we use the Canadian National Longitudinal Survey of Children and Youth data to examine the links between child well-being and neighbourhood 'quality.' This study adds to the literature by (i) investigating the relationship between neighbourhood quality and child health, (ii) by utilizing subjective assessments by individuals familiar with the neighbourhood (i.e., the survey respondent and interviewer), and (iii) by utilizing multiple assessments of neighbourhood quality, and (iv) by investigating several measures of health. Other work has found that controlling for family level characteristics reduces or eliminates the apparent association between neighbourhood quality and health. We find, measuring both child well-being and neighbourhood quality multi-dimensionally, that even after controlling for family level characteristics neighbourhood quality has strong associations with child well-being.
在本文中，我们使用加拿大全国儿童和青少年纵向调查数据来检验儿童福祉与邻里“质量”之间的联系。本研究通过以下方式为该文献做出了贡献：（i）调查邻里质量与儿童健康之间的关系；（ii）利用熟悉邻里的个人（即调查受访者和访谈者）的主观评估；（iii）利用对邻里质量的多种评估；以及（iv）调查多种健康指标。其他研究发现，控制家庭层面的特征会减少或消除邻里质量与健康之间明显的关联。我们发现，在多维衡量儿童福祉和邻里质量的情况下，即使控制了家庭层面的特征，邻里质量与儿童福祉之间仍存在很强的关联。
