Reading the evidence codes
q is the design tier, i the impact, n the sample, and the kind with its r
the rigour judged within that kind: what each code means.
This claim: no standardized effect is recorded in observations/ for it yet, so no benchmark reading is possible.
q2 i? About 65% of black children experienced childhood sequences of neighborhoods that were on average extremely disadvantaged, versus 8.74% of nonblack children. → Wodtke 2011

q2 · i? · associational · r2
Descriptive analysis of duration-weighted exposure in the PSID cohort (Table 3). The article concludes "the racial disparity in long-term exposure to the most disadvantaged neighborhoods throughout childhood was more pronounced than the racial disparity in neighborhood environments at any single age."
"About 65% of black children were exposed to a sequence of neighborhoods during childhood that were, on average, extremely disadvantaged. Less than 1% of blacks experienced long-term exposure to the least disadvantaged neighborhoods. By contrast, among nonblack children, only 8.74% spent the majority of their childhood in the most disadvantaged neighborhoods"
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Neighborhood context is a transient ecological setting, with many families moving between neighborhood disadvantage quintiles during childhood — related
- Sustained exposure to the most disadvantaged neighborhoods from age 2 to 17 substantially reduces the probability of high school graduation for both black and nonblack children — related
- ACE exposure is unevenly distributed: children below 400% FPL and Black and Hispanic children have higher prevalence of two or more ACEs — related
- Most longitudinal studies of childhood social and economic circumstances find evidence that temporality (duration, timing, or mobility of exposure) relates to educational and cognitive outcomes — related
