A study looked into whether negative life events are more common in troubled neighborhoods, and if that amplifies adverse effects on health.
The indirect paths between neighborhood conditions and health through negative life event exposure are highly significant and large compared to the direct paths from neighborhood conditions to health. Our results indicate that neighborhood conditions can have acute as well as chronic effects on health, and that negative life events are a powerful mechanism by which context may influence health.

You're asking if living in a crap neighbourhood makes it more likely you'll have crappy things happen to you?
