Associations between neighborhood characteristics, mental health, and parenting among mothers with young children in Brazil: A cross-sectional study of women living in communities of social disadvantage and ethnic diversity
The findings revealed both expected and unexpected associations between neighborhood characteristics, maternal depressive symptoms, and parenting practices. Overall, these findings contribute to our understanding of the multifaceted dynamics between community environments and maternal well-being. They also shed important light on the various ways in which one's environment can influence maternal mental health and parenting behaviors.
