Social support networks and well-being of disabled veterans: the dual roles of institutional support and peer trust
The findings highlight a synergistic mechanism between institutional services and social network resources in enhancing disabled veterans' well-being. Policy implications include strengthening social support networks, improving institutional responsiveness, and increasing policy awareness, while tailoring interventions by age and disability severity. Such measures can more effectively transform social capital into psychological well-being.
