Social capital's association with self-reported health outcomes in the rural south: variations by demographic subgroup

These findings suggest that social capital may not operate equally across demographic subgroups, particularly for Black individuals and young adults. Social capital may not be related for some subgroups and domains, or new measures may need to be developed to better represent how social capital operates. Public health practitioners should be particularly attuned to these groups as social capital interventions are trialed in rural communities.
