Contributions of neighborhood violent crime and perceived neighborhood safety to cognition and mental health in the adolescent brain cognitive development study
Perceived safety, rather than objective crime, was linked to adolescent mental health, cognition, and brain structure. PNS was influenced by sociodemographic and psychological factors, and mental health predicted declines in safety perception. These findings emphasize the developmental importance of subjective environmental experiences.
