TABLE 3.

Unadjusted and propensity score-matched odds ratios between perceived neighborhood safety, objectively-measured neighborhood violence, and adolescent serious psychological distress (SPD), CHIS, 2011–2014

	OR (95 % CI) for SPD: Unadjusted analysesa	OR (95 % CI) for SPD: Propensity score-matched analysesb
Living in a neighborhood perceived to be unsafe	2.80 (1.47, 5.32)	2.44 (1.20, 4.96)
Living in a neighborhood objectively characterized as highly violent	1.69 (0.26, 11.17)	1.41 (0.60, 3.32)

^aAnalytic sample included all CHIS 2011–2014 adolescent subjects whose addresses were accurately geocoded, who had lived at their address for ≥6 months, and whose parent or legal guardian completed the adult interview (n = 4462)

^bAnalytic sample was identical to that for unadjusted models, but models used kernel-matched propensity scores to match “treated” adolescents to a weighted composite of “non-treated” adolescents
