a For the social connectedness metrics, we identify levels by the unit at which it was included in the analysis, rather than the conceptual idea. For instance, perceived “neighborhood” social cohesion queries people about their cognitive appraisals of their community, but the analysis occurs at the individual level. As such, this provides an individual-level result of community associations rather than a contextual-level result of connectedness on health. Studies that are often able to distinguish those type of associations by levels are multilevel or hierarchical analyses.
