Social capital has potential value for the promotion and prevention of CMD. The association between different types of social capital (individual cognitive and structural, and ecological cognitive and structural) and CMD must be explored to obtain conclusive evidence regarding the association, and to ascertain a direction of causality.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Design<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>10 electronic databases were searched to find studies examining the association between social capital and CMD published before July 2014. The effect estimates and sample sizes for each type of social capital were separately analysed for cross-sectional and cohort studies. From 1857 studies retrieved, 39 were selected for inclusion: 31 cross-sectional and 8 cohort studies. 39 effect estimates were found for individual level cognitive, 31 for individual level structural, 9 for ecological level cognitive and 11 for ecological level structural social capital.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Main results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This review provides evidence that individual cognitive social capital is protective against developing CMD. Ecological cognitive social capital is also associated with reduced risk of CMD, though the included studies were cross-sectional. For structural social capital there was overall no association at either the individual or ecological levels. Two cross-sectional studies found that in low-income settings, a mother's participation in civic activities is associated with an increased risk of CMD.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>There is now sufficient evidence to design and evaluate individual and ecological cognitive social capital interventions to promote mental well-being and prevent CMD.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1136\/jech-2015-205868","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,7,15]],"date-time":"2015-07-15T22:19:49Z","timestamp":1436998789000},"page":"1021-1028","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1136\/crossmarkpolicy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":261,"title":["Social capital and common mental disorder: a systematic review"],"prefix":"10.1136","volume":"69","author":[{"given":"Annahita M","family":"Ehsan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Physical & Occupational Therapy, McGill University, Montreal, Quebec, Canada"},{"name":"Centre for Global Mental Health, London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, London, UK"},{"name":"Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology, and Neuroscience, King's College London, London, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mary J","family":"De Silva","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Global Mental Health, London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, London, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"239","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2015,7,15]]},"reference":[{"key":"2025100300254346000_69.10.1021.1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(13)61611-6"},{"key":"2025100300254346000_69.10.1021.2","first-page":"609","article-title":"Poverty and common mental disorders in developing countries","volume":"81","author":"Patel","year":"2003","journal-title":"Bull World Health Organ"},{"key":"2025100300254346000_69.10.1021.3","unstructured":"Grootaert C , Van Bastelaer T .
