Table 10 Sensitivity analyses 2: Associations between perceived criminality (by type of crime) at neighborhood level, feeling unsafe (at night) and self-rated health. Models ran on complete cases only for all the covariates

From: Assessing the role of criminality in neighbourhood safety feelings and self-reported health: results from a cross-sectional study in a Dutch municipality

 

Base model:

Perception of each type of crime included in a separate model

Variation 1:

Multivariable model including thefts, burglaries, violent crimes, traffic nuisance, vandalism (excluded: nuisance)

Variation 2:

Multivariable model including thefts, burglaries, traffic nuisance, nuisance vandalism (excluded: violent crimes)

  1. Results from multilevel logistic regression models (individuals clustered in the neighborhoods); Perceived safety factors are scored on the scale 0 (best) to 10 (worst). All models adjusted for age, gender, education , income
  2. aFrequency of violent crimes and nuisance could not be added to the model at the same time due to collinearity problem
  3. Significant estimates (at 5% level) are in bold
