O'Campo P, Rao RP, Gielen AC, et al. Injury-producing events among children in low-income communities: the role of community characteristics. Journal of Urban Health. 2000;77:34-49.
This study found that census tract rates of housing violations were associated with children under age 5 experiencing an event that could lead to injury. The researchers used both individual-level data and neighborhood characteristics but did not attempt to distinguish between area characteristics and individual characteristics. The authors conclude that information on community characteristics could be useful in designing community-based injury prevention interventions.
