About

The study examines how living in mobile home communities (MHCs) affects children's risk of adverse events like abuse and accidents. It describes a population-based study in Olmsted County, Minnesota, showing that non-Hispanic White children in MHCs have a higher risk of these events compared to those outside MHCs. The research uses geospatial analysis to identify hotspots and finds that address inaccuracies may hinder outreach efforts. The findings suggest that children in MHCs are an underserved group needing targeted public health interventions and further research on unmet health needs beyond adverse events.
