We used data from the 2002 National Survey of Family Growth to examine the influence of neighborhood characteristics on young males' sexual and reproductive health (SRH). We linked census-tract data to construct a Neighborhood Disadvantage Scale for 1092 never-married males aged 15 to 19 years, and we examined the association of neighborhood disadvantage with 11 SRH behaviors for each male. We found significant associations between neighborhood disadvantage and measures of partnering and pregnancy. Public health research and policies must consider the role of neighborhood context when addressing health behaviors.
我们利用 2002 年全国家庭增长调查的数据，研究了邻里特征对年轻男性性与生殖健康（SRH）的影响。我们将普查区数据进行了链接，为 1092 名从未结婚的 15 至 19 岁男性构建了邻里劣势量表，并检查了邻里劣势与每位男性 11 项 SRH 行为之间的关联。我们发现邻里劣势与伴侣关系和怀孕等指标之间存在显著关联。公共卫生研究和政策在解决健康行为问题时必须考虑邻里环境的作用。
