摘要

Objectives: Research into the social determinants of health inequalities is increasingly focusing on macro-levelrnforces affecting individuals and communities. The concept of social capital has been at the centre of this research asrna potential explanatory framework for understanding these inequalities. The aim of this study was to identify therncomponents that define social capital and its relationship to self-reported health in two neighbourhoods known tornbe disadvantaged in south-western Sydney.rnMethods: This study uses data from cross-sectional household (door-knock) surveys originally developed asrnevaluation tools for neighbourhood based interventions. Secondary analyses including factor analysis and multiplernregression analysis were used to provide empirical evidence of the components defining social capital and howrnthese, as a concept, were associated with self-reported health.rnResults: The study revealed six common social capital components in each sample and an additional component inrnone neighbourhood. These included neighbourhood attachment, support networks, feelings of trust andrnreciprocity, local engagement, personal attachment to the area, feelings about safety and proactivity in the socialrncontext. The social capital model incorporating demographic and socio-economic characteristics explained 23.4%rnof health variance in one neighbourhood, and 19.3% in the other. Examining the social capital:health relationshiprnrevealed that with the exception of feelings of trust and reciprocity, no other social capital component madernsignificant contributions to explaining health variance and that macro-level factors such as housing conditions andrnemployment opportunities emerged as key explanatory factors.rnConclusion: If interventions are to use social capital as a way of addressing health inequalities, these need to lookrnclosely at the role of trust for improving health outcomes of deprived populations as well as ensuring access tornresources and infrastructure.
