Social Capital and Health
Author/Editor: Ichiro Kawachi, S.V. Subramanian, Daniel Kim Pages: 292 pages Publisher: Springer; 2008 Edition Language: English ISBN-10: 0387713107 ISBN-13: 978-0387713106 Format: Retail PDF  Summary: As interest in social capital has grown over the past decade―particularly in public health ―so has the lack of consensus on exactly what it is and what makes it worth studying. Ichiro Kawachi, a widely respected leader in the field, and 21 contributors (including physicians, economists, and public health experts) discuss the theoretical origins of social capital, the strengths and limitations of current methodologies of measuring it, and salient examples of social capital concepts informing public health practice. Social Capital and Health is certain to inspire researchers and advanced students in public health, health behavior, and social epidemiology. The collective insight found in these diverse perspectives should inspire a new generation of research on this topic, and lead to the development of interventions to improve public health.
