Low neighborhood safety was assessed with Your Neighborhood [33], a measure administered to primary caregivers, in which respondents rate 17 possible problems in their neighborhood (e.g., “delinquent gangs,” “drug use and drug dealing in the open”) on a 3-point Likert scale (not a problem, somewhat of a problem, big problem). Ratings are summed, with higher scores reflecting lower degree of safety. Alphas ranged from 0.94–0.95.
