Community social structure, social capital and adolescent smoking: A multi-level analysis

Relations of participation in organized activities to smoking and drinking among Japanese youth: contextual effects of structural social capital in high school

“…To date, no study has investigated the contextual effect of school-level extracurricular activities on adolescent smoking. An Icelandic study showed that, after adjusting for individual-level participation, adolescents from neighbourhoods where many adolescents participated in organized sports were less likely to smoke, which suggests the contextual effect of community-level participation in organized sports on adolescent smoking (Thorlindsson et al 2012).

The Relationship of Social Capital with Lifestyle Among Adolescents: A Cross-Sectional Descriptive-Analytic Study

Besides, Belgorian et al (2012) reported social capital as a significant factor behind participation in physical activity (15).…”

“…Moreover, previous studies showed that it is a significant factor behind obesity, diabetes mellitus, physical activity, and cigarette smoking among adolescents (14)(15)(16). Tonts (2005) also found social capital to be effective in promoting personal health (11).…”
