Lebanon has a history of civil and cross-border war, which may influence the production of violence at the individual level.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>674 boys were interviewed. The dependent variable was being involved in a physical fight in the last 3\u2005months. The independent variable was social capital, classified into six categories: civic engagement and community development; locational capital; trust; reciprocity; hypothetical social support; and social network.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>One fifth (20%) had been in a fight in the last 3\u2005months. Youth who were members of a group, who had been victimised, who could ask for help from a family member\/friend\/neighbour when they had a problem, and who liked living in their neighbourhood were more likely to be involved in a fight.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>This research supports the literature that indicates that physical fights are positively related to both individual and social capital variables. Social capital had a detrimental effect on physical fights. This may be related to bonding in a gang-like way. While high levels of social capital are good for other health outcomes and thus should not be reduced, interventions that channel youth energy in positive ways are needed.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1136\/ip.2010.029124","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2011,5,5]],"date-time":"2011-05-05T22:39:48Z","timestamp":1304635188000},"page":"401-406","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":15,"title":["Violence and social capital among young men in Beirut"],"prefix":"10.1136","volume":"17","author":[{"given":"Taghreed El","family":"Hajj","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Rema A","family":"Afifi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Marwan","family":"Khawaja","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Trudy","family":"Harpham","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"239","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2011,5,5]]},"reference":[{"key":"2025092509514669000_17.6.401.1","first-page":"855","article-title":"Cross-national study of fighting and weapon carrying as determinants of adolescent injury","volume":"111","author":"Pickett","year":"2005","journal-title":"J Am Acad Child Adolesc Psychiatry"},{"key":"2025092509514669000_17.6.401.2","unstructured":"World Health Organization.
