Neighborhood sociodemographic and environmental contexts and self-rated health among Brazilian adults: a multilevel study
The aim of this study was to investigate the association between sociodemographic and environmental contexts on self-rated health. A population-based cross-sectional study with a random sample of 38 neighborhoods (census tracts) and 1,100 adults was carried out. Data analysis used multilevel logisti...
