This study sought to examine whether: (1) the health composition of the social networks of children living in subsidized housing within market rate developments (among higher-income neighbors) differs from the social network composition of children living in public housing developments (among lower-income neighbors); and (2) children's social network composition is associated with children's own health. We found no significant differences in the health characteristics of the social networks of children living in these different types of public housing. However, social network composition was significantly associated with several aspects of children's own health, suggesting the potential importance of social networks for the health of vulnerable populations.
(1)居住在市场利率开发项目中的补贴住房内(在高收入邻居中)的儿童的社交网络健康构成是否与居住在公共住房开发项目中的儿童(在低收入邻居中)的社交网络构成不同;以及(2)儿童的社交网络构成是否与儿童自身的健康相关。我们发现,居住在这些不同类型公共住房中的儿童的社交网络健康特征没有显著差异。然而,社交网络构成与儿童自身健康的几个方面显著相关,这表明社交网络对弱势群体健康具有潜在重要性。
