Because the demographic composition of neighborhoods and schools overlaps, their effects on educational attainment are not independent of each other. Throughout the early teenage years, the timing and duration of exposure to neighborhood and school contexts can vary, advocating for a longitudinal approach when studying schooling outcomes. This study uses Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children data (N = 4502; 49% female) to examine how exposure to poverty between ages 10-16 predicts educational attainment. The results indicate that enduring exposure to neighborhood poverty relates to educational attainment, while timing does not. For school poverty, longer exposure is related to lower attainment, but earlier exposure has a stronger impact than later exposure. Adolescents who were exposed to poverty in both contexts for the full observation period had the lowest educational attainment. The findings highlight the importance of understanding when and how long adolescents are exposed to contextual poverty.
由于社区和学校的人口构成重叠，它们对教育程度的影响并不是相互独立的。在整个青少年早期，接触社区和学校环境的时间和持续时间可能会有所不同，因此在研究学校教育成果时提倡采用纵向方法。本研究使用雅芳纵向父母与子女研究数据（N=4502；女性占 49%），研究 10-16 岁期间接触贫困对教育程度的影响。结果表明，长期接触社区贫困与教育程度有关，而时间无关。对于学校贫困，较长的暴露时间与较低的教育程度有关，但早期暴露的影响比后期暴露的影响更大。在整个观察期内同时处于社区和学校贫困环境中的青少年教育程度最低。这些发现强调了了解青少年何时以及长期接触背景贫困的重要性。
