本文是对Malin Eriksson博士论文的评论，题为“社会资本，健康和社区行动-对健康促进的影响”。本文提出了一个社会资本及其与健康的关系的理论概述，回顾了社会资本和（自评）健康之间的联系的实证研究结果，并讨论了社会资本在个人和社区层面的健康促进干预措施的有用性。社会资本，概念化为个人特征，可以促进健康促进领域的增加新的知识，如何最好地设计社会网络干预措施，以满足目标群体的需求。区分不同形式的社会资本，即结合、桥接和联系，有助于确定现有的、增进（或损害）健康的网络类型以及对谁有益。此外，社会资本可以通过承认参与社会网络的投资和回报分配不平等的风险来推动社会网络干预。从概念上说，社会资本是整个社区的特征，它提供了一个有用的框架，说明什么是支持健康的环境，并指导如何实现这些环境。在当地社区规划和调动社会资本可能是实现社区促进健康行动的一种方式。社会资本是由必要性所约束的。因此，从全球角度来看，它不能被用作如何顺利实现支持性环境和社区行动的“食谱”。然而，社会资本可以提供新的思路的过程中，影响人类的互动，合作和社区行动的健康促进在各种情况下。
This article is a review of the PhD Thesis of Malin Eriksson, entitled ‘Social capital, health and community action – implications for health promotion.’ The article presents a theoretical overview of social capital and its relation to health, reviews empirical findings of the links between social capital and (self-rated) health, and discusses the usefulness of social capital in health promotion interventions at individual and community levels. Social capital, conceptualized as an individual characteristic, can contribute to the field of health promotion by adding new knowledge on how social network interventions may best be designed to meet the needs of the target group. The distinction of different forms of social capital, i.e. bonding, bridging, and linking, can be useful in mapping the kinds of networks that are available and health-enhancing (or damaging) and for whom. Further, social capital can advance social network interventions by acknowledging the risk for unequal distribution of investments and returns from social network involvement. Social capital, conceptualized as characterizing whole communities, provides a useful framework for what constitutes health-supporting environments and guidance on how to achieve them. Mapping and mobilization of social capital in local communities may be one way of achieving community action for health promotion. Social capital is context-bound by necessity. Thus, from a global perspective, it cannot be used as a ‘cookbook’ on how to achieve supportive environments and community action smoothly. However, social capital can provide new ideas on the processes that influence human interactions, cooperation, and community action for health promotion in various contexts.
