SOCIAL CAPITAL AND PUBLIC POLICY: HOW SOCIAL CAPITAL CAN INFORM PUBLIC POLICY INTERVENTIONS TO IMPROVE HEALTH AND REDUCE INEQUITIES

该项目研究了社会资本如何影响澳大利亚的政策结果。这项研究的目的是审查旨在促进社会资本的公共部门举措的制定和实施过程，并确定社会资本在执行旨在减少人口中不同群体之间经济和卫生不平等的政策方面可能发挥的作用。这项研究将产生一系列成果，包括提高决策者对社会资本价值的认识，并为旨在改善健康和减少不平等的政策和干预措施提出基于证据的建议。

This project examines the ways in which social capital affects policy outcomes in Australia. The research aims to examine the processes underpinning the development and implementation of public sector initiatives designed to promote social capital and to identify the role that social capital may play in implementing policy designed to reduce economic and health inequities between different groups in the population. The research will lead to a number of outcomes, including an increased understanding of the value of social capital to policy makers and evidence based recommendations for policies and interventions designed to improve health and reduce inequities.
