Establish metric properties of the Neighborhood Inventory for Environmental Typology (NIfETy).
A total of 919 residential block faces were assessed by paired raters using the NIfETy. Reliability was evaluated via interrater and internal consistency reliability; validity by comparing NIfETy data with youth self-reported violence, alcohol, and other drug exposure and crime statistics.
Validity and reliability metrics were moderate to exemplary for the total scale and subscales. NIfETy data correlated strongly with crime data and youth self-reported exposure.
The NIfETy is valid and reliable. Future investigations will explore its use in other urban centers and association to other health outcomes.
建立环境类型学邻里清单(NIfETy)的度量属性。
共有 919 个住宅街区通过 NIfETy 由配对的评估员进行评估。通过评估者间信度和内部一致性信度评估可靠性;通过将 NIfETy 数据与青年自我报告的暴力、酒精和其他药物暴露以及犯罪统计数据进行比较来评估有效性。
总尺度和子尺度的有效性和可靠性指标均为中等至优秀。NIfETy 数据与犯罪数据和青年自我报告的暴露高度相关。
NIfETy 是有效和可靠的。未来的研究将探索其在其他城市中心的使用情况及其与其他健康结果的关联。
