Abstract: This study explored the contribution of neighborhood processes and resources to Latino immigrant youth's reading and math achievement, emotional and behavioral problems, and extra-curricular involvement. Data on Latino immigrant and non-immigrant youth (N = 1574) from the Los Angeles Family and Neighborhood Study, a longitudinal neighborhood-based survey, were used to investigate whether ... read moreassociations among neighborhood processes and resources and school-aged Latino immigrant youth's development differ by immigrant status or neighborhood concentration of foreign-born residents. In general, results of multilevel models suggested that neither individual immigrant status nor neighborhood foreign-born concentration moderated association between neighborhood processes and youth outcomes. Results raise questions about the purported unique role of neighborhood context for immigrant youth's development.
