Constructing Residential Histories in a General Population-Based Representative Sample.

ABSTRACT: Research on neighborhoods and health typically measures neighborhood context at a single point in time. However, neighborhood exposures accumulate over the life course, influenced by both residential mobility and neighborhood change, with potential implications for estimating the impact of neighborhoods on health.
