Does higher perceived neighborhood social cohesion in adolescence lead to better health and well-being 10-12 years later? We evaluated this question using data from a large, prospective, and nationally representative sample of US adolescents (Add Health; N = 10,963), and an outcome-wide approach. Across 38 outcomes, perceived neighborhood social cohesion was associated with some: mental health outcomes (i.e., depressive symptoms, suicidal ideation, perceived stress), psychological well-being outcomes (i.e., happiness, optimism), social outcomes (i.e., loneliness, romantic relationship quality, satisfaction with parenting), and civic/prosocial outcomes (i.e., volunteering). However, it was not associated with health behaviors nor physical health outcomes. These results were maintained after robust control for a wide range of potential confounders.
在青少年时期，更高的邻里社会凝聚力是否会导致 10-12 年后更好的健康和幸福感？我们使用来自美国青少年的大型、前瞻性和全国代表性样本（Add Health；N=10963）的数据，以及一种全面的结果评估方法来评估这个问题。在 38 个结果中，感知到的邻里社会凝聚力与一些结果相关：心理健康结果（即抑郁症状、自杀意念、感知压力）、心理幸福感结果（即幸福、乐观）、社会结果（即孤独、浪漫关系质量、对育儿的满意度）和公民/亲社会结果（即志愿服务）。然而，它与健康行为和身体健康结果无关。在对广泛的潜在混杂因素进行稳健控制后，这些结果仍然成立。
