  • Transportation barriers to care among frequent health care users during the Covid pandemic

    Open AccessAbigail L Cochran, Noreen Mcdonald et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2022

  • A prospective analysis of the effect of neighbourhood and individual social capital on changes in self-rated health of people with chronic illness

    Open AccessGeeke Waverijn, Mary Wolfe et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2014

    Higher levels of individual and neighbourhood social capital independently and positively affect changes in self-rated health of people with chronic illness. Although most of the variation in health is explained at the individual level, one's social environment should be considered as a possible relevant influence on the health of the chronically ill
