DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): From a public health perspective, moving to subsidized housing, to less poor neighborhoods, to housing developments with low rates of crime, or to more mixed income settings might reduce health disparities between children and families who have low income and those who do not. Children and young adolescents may be particularly influenced by housing given that they spend a large proportion of their time in their home neighborhood where the accessibility and quality of local amenities and institutions matter, and because they are influenced by their parents' responses to residential location. Receipt of in-place subsidized housing, the focus of our proposal, may help to improve the health and developmental trajectories of at-risk youth through multiple pathways. The proposed experimental research will utilize the NYC Department of Housing Preservation and Development's lottery system to identify treatment and control households that fit our study criteria. Group assignment will include families with children who move to a subsidized apartment in one of eleven newly constructed housing sites (treatment) and matched families who do not receive housing (control). This proposal's design improves and expands upon the design of earlier housing experiments in that it (a) compares the impact of moving to a new neighborhood versus staying in the same neighborhood among recipients of subsidized housing, (b) compares the impact of moving into mixed-income versus solely low- income buildings, (c) examines the impact of subsidized housing on near-poor families (rather than just families below the poverty threshold), (d) examines the effect of subsidized housing where the uptake of the offer is 90% (rather than less than one-half in Moving to Opportunity), and (e) examines the effect of subsidized housing where the families are likely to stay in the subsidized housing (in Moving to Opportunity, over half of those who did move ended up moving again, typically back to poor neighborhoods). Our proposed data collection strategy will include baseline data collection at time of application for housing, using a self-administered questionnaire to be completed by the primary caregiver and augmented by information obtained from the housing application itself. Follow-up assessments will include in-person interviews with the primary caregiver and detailed information on up to two co-resident children for each participating household. Our follow-up information on children will be collected by proxy for children under age eight and in-person with children ages eight to eighteen. Experimental analyses will be used to quantify the impact of moving to subsidized housing and additional exploratory analyses will be conducted to investigate the potential benefits of housing relative to neighborhoods and assess evidence of differential impacts among those receiving particular types of subsidized housing. Relationships among household, housing, and neighborhood features will be examined as potential outcomes as well as mediators of individual-level health outcomes. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: The health of children and adults is influenced by the environments in which they live. Experimental research has shown that moving to new housing in particular kinds of neighborhoods may improve the life chances of poor families; however, previous research confounded housing- and neighborhood mobility and did not investigate the benefits of mixed-income housing developments. Our randomized experiment will address these shortcomings will NYC children and families who apply for in-place subsidized housing allocated through a housing lottery and test whether receipt of such housing improves the health and well-being of children and caregivers.

描述（由申请人提供）：从公共卫生的角度来看，转向补贴的住房，较贫穷的社区，转向犯罪率较低的住房发展，或者到更多的混合收入设置可能会减少儿童与收入低的家庭和没有的家庭之间的健康差异。鉴于他们在家庭社区中花费了很大一部分的时间，因此儿童和年轻青少年可能会特别受到住房的影响，在这里，当地便利设施和机构的可访问性和质量很重要，并且因为他们受父母对住所的反应的影响。我们提案的重点接收到原位补贴的住房可能有助于通过多种途径改善高危青年的健康和发展轨迹。拟议的实验研究将利用纽约市住房保存和开发系统的彩票系统来识别符合我们学习标准的治疗和控制家庭。小组分配将包括有孩子的家庭，这些家庭搬到了11个新建的住房（治疗）中的一个和不接收住房的家庭中的一间（治疗）中的一间补贴公寓（对照）。 This proposal's design improves and expands upon the design of earlier housing experiments in that it (a) compares the impact of moving to a new neighborhood versus staying in the same neighborhood among recipients of subsidized housing, (b) compares the impact of moving into mixed-income versus solely low- income buildings, (c) examines the impact of subsidized housing on near-poor families (rather than just families below the poverty threshold), (d) examines the补贴住房的影响，该报价的吸收为90％（而不是搬到机会时少于一半），并且（e）检查了家庭可能留在补贴住房中的补贴住房的效果（在迁移到机会中，超过一半的人又又回到了贫困的社区，通常回到贫困的社区）。我们提出的数据收集策略将包括在住房申请时的基线数据收集，使用主要护理人员将完成的自我管理调查表，并通过从住房申请本身获得的信息增强。后续评估将包括对主要护理人员的面对面访谈，以及有关每个参与家庭的最多两个共同居住儿童的详细信息。我们的后续信息将由代理人针对8岁以下的儿童和八至18岁的儿童收集。实验分析将用于量化迁移到补贴住房的影响，并将进行其他探索性分析，以调查住房相对于社区的潜在益处，并评估接受特定类型的补贴住房的差异影响的证据。家庭，住房和邻里特征之间的关系将被视为潜在的结果以及个人水平健康成果的调解人。 公共卫生相关性：儿童和成人的健康受到他们生活环境的影响。实验研究表明，搬到特定类型的社区可能会改善贫困家庭的生活机会。但是，先前的研究使住房和邻里流动性混淆，并没有调查混合收入住房发展的好处。我们的随机实验将解决这些缺点，这将是纽约市的儿童和家庭，这些儿童和家庭申请通过住房彩票分配的现场补贴住房，并测试收到这种住房的收到是否改善了儿童和照料者的健康和福祉。
