Nicole DeVille (Epidemiology and Biostatistics) published an article titled, "Neighborhood socioeconomic status and mortality in the nurses' health study (NHS) and the nurses' health study II (NHSII)," in the journal Environmental Epidemiology. 

Neighborhood effects are increasingly recognized as important contributors to health disparities, though few long-term studies exist that account for time-varying individual factors. Time-varying neighborhood socioeconomic status (nSES) measures over three decades, including neighborhood racial composition, were associated with mortality. Limited variability in individual SES and race/ethnicity and extensive time-varying information on potential confounders was a strength of the study. nSES is an important population-level predictor of mortality even among women with little individual-level variability in SES.
