effect
Recent studies confirm the
major influence of social
and community factors on
children's health.
T
he neighborhood a child lives in
affects their risk of hospitalization,
according to a recent study in the Journal
of Hospital Medicine. Researchers compared
hospitalization rates against the
Child Opportunity Index (COI), a multidimensional
measure of neighborhood
resources and conditions
assigned at
the ZIP-code level.

hoods experience more than 60,000
excess hospitalizations annually in the
18 included states. As COI improves, the
overall hospitalization rate for children
decreases. This trend holds true across
seven individual diagnosis groups.
" Our findings support a link between
neighborhood opportunity and hospitalizations
for common conditions,
underscoring the importance of
community investment to optimize
children's health and well-being, " said
Matt Hall, PhD, principal biostatistician
at Children's Hospital Association. The
research, conducted by CHA's Policy
Research Group, confirms previous
findings but is the first population-based
analysis of pediatric hospitalizations.
