Abstract

Neighborhood threats can increase risk for externalizing problems, including aggressive, oppositional, and delinquent behavior. Yet, there is substantial variability in how youth respond to neighborhood threats. Difficulty with cognitive functioning, particularly in the face of emotional information, may increase risk for externalizing in youth who live in neighborhoods with higher threats. However, little research has examined: 1) associations between neighborhood threats and executive networks involved in cognitive functioning or 2) whether executive networks may amplify risk for externalizing in the context of neighborhood threats. Further, most research on neighborhood threats does not account for youth’s experiences in other social contexts. Utilizing the large, sociodemographically diverse cohort of youth (ages 9–10) included in the Adolescent Brain Cognitive DevelopmentSM Study, we identified four latent profiles of youth based on threats in their neighborhoods, families, and schools: low threat in all contexts, elevated family threat, elevated neighborhood threat, and elevated threat in all contexts. The elevated neighborhood threat and elevated all threat profiles showed lower behavioral performance on an emotional n-back task relative to low threat and elevated family threat profiles. Lower behavioral performance in the elevated neighborhood threat profile specifically was paralleled by lower executive network activity during a cognitive challenge. Moreover, among youth with lower executive network activity, higher probability of membership in the elevated neighborhood threat profile was associated with higher externalizing. Together, these results provide evidence that interactions between threats that are concentrated in youth’s neighborhoods and attenuated executive network function may contribute to risk for externalizing problems.

Although adjusting for other demographic covariates (i.e., household income, caregiver education) is common within the broader literature, there is controversy about the causal structure of relationships between these variables and our independent variables. Therefore, given that misspecifying covariates can produce biased and/or inaccurate estimates (Wysocki et al., 2022), we omitted household income and caregiver education from our primary analyses. We provide further details and supplemental results from models including these variables as covariates in the Supplement.

Some ABCD Study sites have more than one MRI scanner. Following recommendations for imaging analyses with ABCD Study data (Hagler et al., 2019), scanner serial number was included as a random intercept to account for between-scanner variance.
 
3
Supplemental analyses were conducted to evaluate whether the behavioral analyses described above replicated in mixed-effect models utilizing the probability of membership in each profile as independent variables.
 
4
Sensitivity analyses were conducted to examine the impact of head motion as a covariate.
 
5
Behavioral results were consistent in analyses with the probability of membership in each profile as independent variables. Probability of membership in the Elevated Neighborhood and Elevated All profiles was significantly associated with lower overall, 0-back, and 2-back performance. Conversely, probability of membership in the Low Threat profile was significantly associated with higher overall, 0-back, and 2-back performance. The probability of membership in the Elevated Family profile was not significantly associated with EN-back performance.
 
6
Sensitivity analyses demonstrated that associations between the threat profiles and EN-back performance remained when adjusting for fluid intelligence measured with WISC-V matrix reasoning.
 
7
Sensitivity analyses demonstrated that associations between probability of membership in the Elevated Neighborhood and Low Threat profiles and executive network activation remained when adjusting for fluid intelligence measured with WISC-V matrix reasoning (Supplemental Fig. 2).
 
8
Only the interaction between cognitive processing-related fMRI activity and the Elevated Neighborhood profile was significant in an additional ROI-based moderation analysis using profile membership as an independent variable.
 
9
Analyses demonstrated that cognitive processing-related fMRI activity did not moderate the association between probability of membership in the Elevated Neighborhood profile and internalizing [(SE) = -0.21 (0.20), p = 0.30].
 
10
Sensitivity analyses demonstrated that mean activity across ROIs moderated the relationship between probability of membership in the Elevated Neighborhood profile and externalizing with the inclusion of fluid intelligence (WISC-V matrix reasoning) as a covariate [B(SE) = -0.40 (0.19), β = -0.04, p = 0.03] and with the exclusion of head motion as a covariate [B(SE) = -0.43 (0.19), β = -0.04, p = 0.02].
