Presented By: Michael C. Lotspeich-Yadao, University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign Variation in the definitions of spatial units substantially impacts the validation of causal relationships between individual and ecological contexts. Acknowledging this significant influence of neighborhood definition on research outcomes, our study seeks to introduce a scalable methodological innovation by synthesizing Tolbert and Killian’s (1987) [...]
