Impact of Public Housing Relocations: Are Changes in Neighborhood Conditions Related to STIs Among Relocaters?

Year: 2020
Type: article
Study design: Observational Study
Abstract: Cross-sectional and ecologic studies suggest that place characteristics influence sexual behaviors and sexually-transmitted infections (STIs). Using data from a predominately substance-misusing cohort of African-American adults relocating from US public housing complexes, this multilevel longitudinal study tested the hypothesis that participants who experienced greater post-relocation improvements in neighborhood conditions (i.e., socioeconomic disadvantage, social disorder, STI prevalence, male:female sex ratios) would have reduced odds of testing positive for an STI over time.
