The purpose of the symposium was to describe results of four research projects in large urban

behaviors. We also describe how this information has been utilized by city and governmental
officials to inform policies aimed at improving services. The 4 projects were:
Neighborhood Characteristics and Adolescents' Outcomes: A Study of the Built
Environment In Santiago, Chile;
Assessing Neighborhoods' Physical and Social Environments: Experiences From
the Detroit Neighborhood Health Study;
Ethnographic Mapping of Minority and Non-Minority Youth Sexual Spaces In
