The disintegration of communities places stress on the well-being of residents. This paper presents four case studies of efforts to strengthen community in four distinct US cities. They are based on interviews and observations made by the author, as well as on published accounts and reports in scientific and lay media. The case studies suggest that each community has a unique set of problems that require targeted interventions. The case studies suggest that interventions can promote social cohesion, thereby recreating the social foundation for good health. The implications for women's health are discussed.
社区的瓦解给居民的幸福安康带来压力。本文介绍了美国四个不同城市为加强社区凝聚力所做努力的四个案例研究。这些研究基于作者的访谈和观察，以及科学和大众媒体上已发表的报道。案例研究表明，每个社区都有一系列独特的问题，需要有针对性的干预措施。案例研究还表明，这些干预措施可以促进社会凝聚力，从而重建健康的社会基础。文中还讨论了这些案例对女性健康的启示。
