"The UGCoP is a significant methodological problem because it means that analytical results can be different for different delineations of contextual units even if everything else is the same. It is perhaps a major reason why research findings concerning the effects of social and physical environments on health behaviors and outcomes are often inconsistent, given that past studies on the same issue (e.g., obesity) often used different contextual units."
