Abstract
ABSTRACT The purpose of the current study was to investigate whether various types of social capital influence self-rated health among African Americans, while accounting for objective and subjective economic well-being. This cross-sectional study included a nationally representative sample of 231 African American adults that participated in the Community Benchmark Survey. Hierarchical multiple regression results show that the health status was influenced by a positive Black identity, friendships, the quality of the communities in which they live, and objective and subjective SES factors. These are social resources and psychological assets that are germane in promoting better health appraisals among African Americans.
