Abstract

The neighborhood effect averaging problem (NEAP) is the problem that individual mobility‐based exposures to environmental factors tend toward the mean level of the participants or population of a study area when compared to their residence‐based exposures. As a result of the NEAP, ignoring people's daily mobility and exposures to nonresidential contexts in geographic or epidemiological studies may lead to erroneous results in the study of mobility‐dependent exposures (e.g., noise and air pollution) and their health impact, because people's daily mobility may amplify or attenuate the exposures that they have experienced in their residential neighborhoods.
