{"product_id":"social-capital-and-health-ichiro-kawachi-9781441924353","title":"Social Capital and Health","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book discusses social capital -- a concept that originated in the social sciences -- and its application to the field of public health. The editors take care to define the concept of social capital, describe its theoretical origins, and discuss the controversies and debates surrounding the use of the concept in public health research and practice. The book provides a comprehensive \"tool kit\" of current approaches to measure social capital. Further, the book surveys the empirical evidence linking social capital to physical and mental health outcomes, health-related behaviors (like smoking), and aging-related outcomes. There is a growing demand for material on social capital, particularly in the applied fashion presented here.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ichiro Kawachi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1441924353\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781441924353\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Springer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/29\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 292\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.94lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.64d","brand":"Ichiro Kawachi","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43935048728831,"sku":"9781441924353","price":99.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_59d2618a-6432-494c-836f-df7736a22cfd.jpg?v=1681417553","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/social-capital-and-health-ichiro-kawachi-9781441924353","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
