Exposure to community violence is an epidemic problem that causes debilitating effects on youth mental health. However, the relationships between violence exposure and youth mental health remain unclear when examining co-occurring socioecological risk and protective factors. The purpose of this study is to clarify the observed gaps in knowledge by utilizing structural equation modeling (SEM) to examine the mediating role of community violence exposure on the relationship between perceived neighborhood risk factors, parental behaviors, and peers on depressive symptoms in a sample of urban youth in low-income public housing communities (n = 320). Results indicate that community violence exposure and exposure to delinquent peers mediates the effects of perceived neighborhood risk and parenting behaviors on depressive symptoms. These findings suggest that while interventions that limit exposure to community violence and delinquent peers could reduce depressive symptoms, interventions that reduce community violence are essential to improve youth mental health.
社区暴力暴露是一个流行问题，对青少年的心理健康造成了严重影响。然而，当同时考虑到共存的社会生态风险和保护因素时，暴力暴露与青少年心理健康之间的关系仍不清楚。本研究的目的是利用结构方程模型（SEM）来澄清知识上的差距，以检验在一个来自低收入公共住房社区的城市青年样本中，社区暴力暴露对感知邻里风险因素、父母行为和同伴对抑郁症状的关系的中介作用（n=320）。结果表明，社区暴力暴露和接触不良同伴中介了感知邻里风险和父母行为对抑郁症状的影响。这些发现表明，虽然限制接触社区暴力和不良同伴的干预措施可以减少抑郁症状，但减少社区暴力的干预措施对于改善青少年的心理健康至关重要。
