Introduction

Abstract

Abstract This introductory chapter begins with a brief discussion of the motivations behind this book, namely, the growing trend of residential segregation, whether by class or race-ethnicity; the emergence of new concepts and methods to analyze neighborhood variations in health; and the launching of new initiatives and studies with neighborhoods as their focus. It then reviews the multilevel evidence on one of the most common health outcomes studies so far—the risk of dying from any cause. Following the overview of the multilevel studies of neighborhood effects on mortality risks, the chapter then discusses a set of emerging conceptual and methodological challenges in neighborhood research.
