Keeping your guard up: hypervigilance among urban residents affected by community and police violence.
This study’s aim was to quantify the effects of hypervigilance among urban residents affected by community and police violence. A survey of 504 adults in Chicago in 2018 was done in a neighborhood affected by high levels of violence. It was found that exposure to police violence was associated with a 9.8% increase in hypervigilance while exposure to community violence caused a 5.5% increase. Among participants who had a police stop, it was associated with 20% increase in hypervigilance. Overall, the highest quartile of hypervigilance was associated with higher systolic blood pressure.
