| Abstract: | Evidence for inequalities in morbidity and mortality by occupational social class and material standard of living has become irrefutable. Attention has now turned to the effects of social context. Durkheim in the 1890s was among the first to posit that the structure of society had a strong bearing on psychological health. There has been historic tradition on the conceptual link between social capital and health. More recently, ‘social capital’ has been embraced as a possible explanation for differences in health that are found between places or between groups of people. The theory of social capital attempts to describe the forces that shape the quality and quantity of social interactions and social institutions. Social capital has been characterised as the glue that holds societies together. “Social capital” means features of social life — networks, norms, and trust — that enable participants to act together more effectively to pursue shared objectives’. An important feature of social capital is that it is a property of groups rather than of individuals. The concept also can be broken down into ‘structural’ and ‘cognitive’ social capital. Structural components refer to roles, rules, precedents, behaviours, networks and institutions. These may bond individuals in groups to each other; bridge divides between societal groups or vertically integrates groups with different levels of power and influence in a society, leading to social inclusion. ‘Cognitive social capital’ describes the values, attitudes and beliefs that produce cooperative behaviour. The current paper will discuss in detail the nature of social capital, its link with health and more specifically to mental health and individual and community based interventions to build social capital and thereby enhances mental health of people at health. |
