Hence, this study emphasizes the importance of community-level stress responses not only for the ecology, but also the evolutionary history of free-living microbes.
These results suggest that although stress may not affect richness-variability relations per se at the community-level, stress did affect the way that functional groups responded to differences in functional group richness.
Examining the contextual effects of community-level stress on individual health requires the adjustment of compositional individual factors.
Planning and administration at the state and community level are stressed by the CDC, along with the creation of a strategic plan.
There were significant racial differences in exposure to stress at the community level (eg, 63% of the black women lived in neighborhoods with aggravated assault rates that were above the citywide mean compared with 25% of the white women).
Community-level social stress.
We found a positive association between higher BC levels with increased commission errors and slower HRT, adjusting for child IQ, age, sex, blood lead level, maternal education, pre- and postnatal tobacco smoke exposure, and community-level social stress.
Stress potentially contributes to asthma morbidity at both the individual and community level.
This stresses on the need for increased health education with emphasis on the etiology of the disease both at the health facility level and the community level.
As such, mixed qualitative and quantitative methods for identifying salient stressors across spatially heterogeneous domains, and for validating administrative indicators against community- and individual-level stress experience (e.g., [ 41]), are important for improving reliability of administrative indicators for environmental epidemiology.
Although we had a measure of neighborhood-level stress (community violence), we did not have information on individual-level stressors that may influence neurocognitive function (Fishbein et al. 2009).
