This cross-sectional study analyzes the association between the individual, neighborhood characteristics, and one's self-assessed mental health status in the Lisbon region after an economic crisis. Via the application of multilevel regression models, the study assesses the link between one's neighborhood environment-deprivation, low self-assessed social capital, and low self-assessed satisfaction with the area of residence-and mental health regardless of one's individual characteristics. Constraints related to the economic crisis play an important role in the explanation of poor mental health. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/10316/89019 | ISSN: | 1660-4601 | DOI: | 10.3390/ijerph16152647 | Rights: | openAccess |
