Mobility housing programs aim to deconcentrate poverty in public housing areas. Previous synthesis research results describe the potential negative impact of mobility programs on the physical and mental health of youth. The current systematic review aims to expand our knowledge of the effects of living in a public housing development and leaving public housing and moving to a new neighborhood on youth risk behaviors, including both general crime/delinquency and substance use, sexual risk behavior, behavioral problems, and binge drinking. The systematic review process produced 7 primary research studies on public housing effects and 10 research studies on resettlement effects. Regarding public housing effects, five studies found a higher incidence of youth risk behaviors in public housing areas, while two studies concluded that not all children and adolescents living in public housing areas are adversely affected by the local environment. Of the 10 studies on the effects of relocation from public housing to other areas, 2 non-randomized controlled trial (RCT) studies found negative impacts, but 8 RCT studies found diversity in relocation effects on youth risk behaviors. These results highlight the need for tailored services for relocated youth taking into consideration their gender, age, family characteristics, and relocation sites. No studies on diversification housing projects satisfied the inclusion criteria in the current systematic review. With a thorough examination of the literature and a discussion of implications, a clear path for future inquiry and youth interventions is presented.
流动住房项目旨在减少公共住房区域的贫困集中现象。以往的综合研究结果描述了流动项目对青少年身心健康的潜在负面影响。当前的系统综述旨在扩展我们对居住在公共住房开发区、离开公共住房并搬到新社区对青少年风险行为影响的认识，这些风险行为包括一般犯罪/违法犯罪行为、物质使用、性风险行为、行为问题和狂饮。系统综述过程产生了7项关于公共住房影响的主要研究和10项关于重新安置影响的研究。关于公共住房的影响，5项研究发现公共住房区域青少年风险行为的发生率较高，而2项研究得出结论，并非所有居住在公共住房区域的儿童和青少年都受到当地环境的不利影响。在10项关于从公共住房搬迁到其他地区影响的研究中，2项非随机对照试验（RCT）研究发现了负面影响，但8项RCT研究发现搬迁对青少年风险行为的影响存在差异。这些结果凸显了为搬迁青少年提供量身定制服务的必要性，要考虑到他们的性别、年龄、家庭特征和搬迁地点。在当前的系统综述中，没有关于多样化住房项目的研究满足纳入标准。通过对文献的全面审查和对影响的讨论，为未来的研究和青少年干预提出了一条清晰的路径。
