Beschreibungen/Notizen
Data collected during three telephone surveys in NE, 1981-1989 (final N = 2,559 respondents, 969 of whom had been in the 1981 survey), are drawn on to examine the effect of aggregate community economic conditions on individual levels of depression. Results offer little evidence of an effect of living in economically distressed communities on mental health independent of the relationship to individual economic conditions. While individuals were able to evaluate the state of the local economy with some degree of accuracy, & their perception of the local economy was related to depression, this effect was not strong enough to produce a significant relationship between aggregate economic measures & depression. Implications for understanding community climate effects in smaller communities are discussed. 2 Tables, 42 References. Adapted from the source document.
