Although absolute poverty has been eliminated in rural China, multidimensional poverty has an unstoppable impact on the self-rated health of rural households through multiple dimensions. This study constructed a moderated mediation model with multidimensional poverty as the independent variable to explore the impact on rural households’ self-rated health, social capital as a mediating variable, and family care as a moderating variable. We used the survey data of 382 sample out-of-poverty rural households in Jiangxi, China, in 2020. Our results indicated that multidimensional poverty had a detrimental impact on the self-rated health and social capital of rural households, both of which were significant at the 1% level (β = −0.751, t = −4.775, and β = −0.197, t = −7.08). A test of the mediating effect of social capital using the mediation model found the mediating effect accounting for 84.95% of the entire effect of multidimensional poverty on rural households’ self-rated health. Further, the interaction term between family care and multidimensional poverty and its beneficial effect on social capital as well as the interaction term between family care and social capital and its negative effect on rural household’ self-rated health are both statistically significant at the 1% level (β = 0.558, t = −5.221 and β = −2.100, t = −3.304). It is revealed that multidimensional poverty affects rural households’ self-rated health through social capital and that family care moderates the mediating pathway. Family care exacerbates the negative effect of multidimensional poverty on rural households’ self-rated health and weakens the beneficial effect of social capital on rural households’ self-rated health. The lower (higher) the level of family care, the more significant the positive (negative) effect of social capital on rural households’ health. Therefore, rural households should prioritize building social capital and shifting the responsibility for family care. First, through enhancing housing infrastructure and establishing cultural and educational initiatives, households can improve their viability. Second, increasing engagement in group activities will enhance social networks and boost interpersonal connections. Finally, to lessen the stress on family caregivers, building socialized care services can cover the gap in family care.

“…Indeed, community social capital is an established and important determinant of health and well-being [ 25 , 26 , 27 , 28 , 29 , 30 , 31 , 32 , 33 , 34 , 35 ]. Social capital has been shown to have broad-based impacts on public health levels even in the context of other forces that effect health, namely economic stress and socio-demographic variables, such as income and education [ 36 ]. The networks providing social capital offer mutual support, opportunities for collaboration and an avenue for health-related activities and information that can enhance well-being.…”

The United States spends more on health care than any other OECD country, yet the nation’s health is declining. Recent research has identified multiple sources for this decline, including one’s position in social and economic structures, environmental quality, and individual and collective social capital. This paper assesses the primary hypotheses that the health effects of household energy burden, social capital and environmental quality on aggregated community health levels remain while controlling for other determinants. The analysis moves beyond prior research by integrating multiple secondary data sources to assess those effects across US counties. Three indicators of public health are analyzed (premature mortality, self-reported health, and life expectancy). The county-level energy burden is measured by the percent of household income spent on housing energy bills for low- and moderate-income households. In addition to energy burden, social capital, environmental quality and other determinants are included in the analysis. The results produced by multivariate regression models support the primary hypotheses, even while a number of control variables also have a significant effect on health. The paper concludes that public health is associated with a complex nexus of factors, including environmental quality and social capital, and that energy burden needs to be among the considerations.

“…Daley, Goerdel, Pierce, and Dinsmore (2020) continue with the examination of citizen experiences by empirically testing the linkage of social capital theory to public health outcomes. The authors argue that structural social capital moderates the effect of economic shock (e.g., foreclosure risk) on indicators of public health and wellbeing.…”

Editorial Research TeamWelcome to PSJ's second issue of 2020. We hope that you are all healthy, safe, and finding ways to thrive in what has so far proven to be a tumultuous and difficult year. Despite the exponential spread of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and the resultant tragedies befalling our communities, we here at the PSJ have been fortunate to be able to maintain our usual publication schedules and timelines. For our readers, that means 12 first-rate peer-reviewed articles. We hope they offer a reprieve from the uncertainties and trying circumstances that many of you are facing. Before discussing these articles in detail, however, we would like to take this moment to first share our sincerest gratitude for your continued support and assistance. In 2019, more than 6,600 institutions worldwide subscribed to PSJ's content and nearly 300,000 full-text PSJ articles were downloaded and read. During the year, we processed more than 500 manuscripts, including nearly 300 new submissions. Our overall manuscript acceptance rate in 2019 was 13 percent. Typically, we were able to make desk decisions within two weeks. For those manuscripts sent out for review, our reviewers were generally able to provide feedback within three weeks. Here we owe a special thanks to our editorial board, which we aspire to have involved with every manuscript that moves through the PSJ's review process. We interpret these data as indicators of PSJ's continued recognition by the policy community as the premier venue for policy theory, where researchers send their best work and have
