Recent research has driven home the close relationship between place and health. Geography is often a greater driver of adolescent morbidity and mortality than behavior. To elucidate these relationships, the Well-Being of Adolescents in Vulnerable Environments study has collected and analyzed data on the health and well-being of adolescents' lowest income communities of five cities: Baltimore, United States; Ibadan, Nigeria; Johannesburg, South Africa; New Delhi, India; and Shanghai, China.
近期的研究深刻揭示了地域与健康之间的紧密关系。相较于行为因素，地理环境往往是青少年发病率和死亡率的更大驱动因素。为了阐明这些关系，“脆弱环境下青少年的福祉”研究收集并分析了来自五个城市中青少年低收入社区的健康与福祉数据，这五个城市分别是：美国巴尔的摩、尼日利亚伊巴丹、南非约翰内斯堡、印度新德里以及中国上海。
