  • Title: Acute exposure to violent neighborhood crime and depressive symptoms among older individuals in Colombia.
    Author: Hessel P, Martínez Botero MA, Cuartas J.
    Journal: Health Place; 2019 Sep; 59():102162. PubMed ID: 31351378.
    Abstract:
    To assess the association between acute exposure to neighborhood violent crimes and depression we combined representative, individual-level and geo-coded data for individuals aged 60 years and above living in four major cities in Colombia from the 2010 Demographic and Health Survey (DHS) with objective information on the timing and location of violent crimes. Exploiting spatial and temporal variation in the occurrence of crimes we find that being acutely exposed to a violent crime is positively associated with the number of depressive symptoms.
