Abstract:
The growing use of social science constructs in public health invites
reflection on how public health researchers translate, that is, appropriate
and reshape, constructs from the social sciences. To assess how 1 recently
popular construct has been translated into public health research, we
conducted a citation network and content analysis of public health articles
on the topic of social capital. The analyses document empirically how
public health researchers have privileged communitarian definitions of
social capital and marginalized network definitions in their citation
practices. Such practices limit the way public health researchers measure
social capital's effects on health. The application of social science
constructs requires that public health scholars be sensitive to how their
own citation habits shape research and knowledge.
