Isi artikel

Social capital has become one of the most popualr topics in public health research in recent years. However even after a decade of conceptual and empirical work on this subjext, there is still considerable disagreement about whether bonding social capital is a collective resource that benefits communitites or societies, or whether its health benefits are associated with people, their personal networks and support. Using data from the 2000 and 2002 health survey for england this study found that, in line with earlier research, personal levels of social support contribute to a bettwe self reported health status. The study also suggests that social capital is additionally important for people's health. In both datasets the aggregate social trust variable was significantly related to self rated health before and after controlling for difference in socio demographics and or individual levels of social support. The results were corroborated in the second dataset with an alterrnative indicator of social capital. These results show that bonding social capital collectivity contributes to people's self rated health over and above the beneficial effects of personal social networks and support.
