Martin-Storey, A., & Crosnoe, R. (2014). Perceived Neighborhood Safety and Adolescent School Functioning. Applied Developmental Science, 18(2), 61-75. https://doi.org/10.1080/10888691.2014.876276

q3 · i? · associational · r3

SEM full model predicting age-15 school attachment in the SECCYD sample (n = 924), with all individual, family, school, and neighborhood covariates. The printed magnitude was 50.3% of an SD per SD of census-based poverty; no standardised effect size was printed.

"Interestingly, neighborhood poverty was also positively associated with school attachment, such that each standard deviation increase in census-based neighborhood poverty was associated with 50.3% of a standard deviation increase in school attachment."
