Research on social capital in public health is approaching its 20th anniversary. Over this period, there have been rich and productive debates on the definition, measurement and importance of social capital for public health research and practice. As a result, the concepts and measures characterising social capital and health research have also evolved, often drawing from research in the social, political and behavioural sciences. The multidisciplinary adaptation of social capital-related concepts to study health has made it challenging for researchers to reach consensus on a common theoretical approach. This glossary thus aims to provide a general overview without recommending any particular approach. Based on our knowledge and research on social capital and health, we have selected key concepts and terms that have gained prominence over the last decade and complement an earlier glossary on social capital and health.
公共卫生领域中关于社会资本的研究即将迎来其20周年。在此期间，围绕社会资本在公共卫生研究与实践中的定义、测量及重要性展开了丰富且富有成果的辩论。因此，表征社会资本与健康研究的概念和措施也在不断演变，常常借鉴社会、政治及行为科学的研究成果。社会资本相关概念在健康研究中的多学科应用，使得研究人员难以就一种通用的理论方法达成共识。因此，本术语表旨在提供一个总体概述，而不推荐任何特定方法。基于我们对社会资本与健康的了解和研究，我们挑选了过去十年中备受瞩目的关键概念和术语，对早期关于社会资本与健康的术语表进行补充。
