Discusses the results of a follow up survey from Oslo, where participants were re-interviewed using the same questionnaire after ten years. The questionnaire included questions about social support, social characteristics of the neighbourhood and mental health. The findings support the environment stress hypothesis, implying that the quality of a neighbourhood has an impact on mental health. Discusses the implications for psychiatric prevention.
