Abstract
The purpose of this study was to examine whether the salon program for elderly can improve individual level social capital indicators corresponding to measures of social networks, religious group involvement, social support, social trust and social norm. The salon program started in 2007. We had before-and-after survey in 2006 and 2008. We analyzed 1606 samples who participated in these surveys. Some of individual-level social capital indicators were improved in Salon program participants compared with non-participants. These results suggest that our intervention program can enhance individual-level social capital.
