AB  - OBJECTIVES: Negative perceptions of one's neighborhood are linked to poor mental 
      and physical health. However, it is unclear how caregiver's neighborhood 
      perception affects health outcomes in children. This study assessed the mediating 
      effect of maternal wellbeing on the association between neighborhood perception 
      and child wellbeing at different time points and overall. METHOD: A structural 
      equation model (SEM) was used to evaluate whether maternal wellbeing mediates the 
      influence of neighborhood perception on child wellbeing at different ages. The 
      Fragile Families and Child Wellbeing Study data from years 3, 5, and 9 was 
      analyzed. The delta method evaluated the mediation effect of maternal wellbeing, 
      controlling for mothers' age. Direct and indirect effects of neighborhood 
      perception at year 3 on child wellbeing at year 9 via maternal wellbeing at year 
      5 were analyzed via a longitudinal mediation with a two time points lag. RESULTS: 
      Maternal wellbeing partially mediated the effect of neighborhood perception on 
      child wellbeing at different ages. Longitudinal mediation analyses revealed that 
      better neighborhood perception at year 3 improved maternal wellbeing at year 5 
      and child wellbeing at year 9; maternal wellbeing at year 5 partially mediated 
      the effect of neighborhood perception at year 3 on child wellbeing at year 5. 
      CONCLUSIONS FOR PRACTICE: Our findings suggest that it may be beneficial for 
      mental health practitioners to discuss relationships between neighborhood 
      environment and wellbeing with caregivers, with a focus on reframing negative 
      self-perceptions. Future research should evaluate longitudinal relationships 
      between changes in neighborhood infrastructure and corresponding wellbeing in 
      caregivers and children.
