association between neighborhood social cohesion, awareness of chronic diseases, and participation in healthy behaviors in a community cohort - bmc public health
background neighborhood social cohesion (nsc) is the network of relationships as well as the shared values and norms of residents in a neighborhood. higher nsc has been associated with improved cardiovascular health, largely among whites but not african americans. in a bi-racial cohort, we aimed to study the association between nsc and chronic disease awareness and engagement in healthy self-management behaviors, two potential mechanisms by which nsc could impact cardiovascular health outcomes. methods using the healthy aging in neighborhoods of diversity across the lifespan study (handls), we cross-sectionally examined the association between nsc and awareness of three chronic conditions (diabetes, chronic kidney disease (ckd), and hypertension) and engagement in healthy self-management behaviors including physical activity, healthy eating, and cigarette avoidance. results study participants (n = 2082) had a mean age of 56.5 years; 38.7% were white and 61.4% african american. of the participants, 26% had diabetes, 70% had hypertension and 20.2% had ckd. mean nsc was 3.3 (sd = 0.80) on a scale of 1 (lowest score) to 5 (highest score). there was no significant association between nsc and any chronic disease awareness, overall or by race. however, each higher point in mean nsc score was associated with less cigarette use and healthier eating scores, among whites (adjusted odds ratio [aor], 95% confidence interval [ci]: =0.76, 0.61–0.94; beta coefficient [βc]:, 95% ci: 1.75; 0.55–2.97, respectively) but not african americans (aor = 0.95, 0.79–1.13; βc: 0.46, − 0.48–1.39, respectively; pinteraction = 0.08 and 0.06). among both whites and african americans, higher nsc scores were associated with increases in self-reported physical activity (βc: 0.12; 0.08–0.16; pinteraction = 0.40). conclusions community engagement and neighborhood social cohesion may be important targets for promotion of healthy behaviors and cardiovascular disease prevention. more research is needed to understand the different associations of nsc and healthy behaviors by race.
residents of more ethnically diverse neighbourhoods actually reported higher levels of social cohesion - british politics and policy at lse
debates over policy relating to immigration and ethnic diversity in the uk are highly charged and ideological. many argue that immigration harms social cohesion because it increases the level of ethnic and racial diversity in local communities, which serves in turn to drive down trust and erode norms of reciprocity and cooperation. in contrast to the vast

nested loyalties: local networks' effects on neighbourhood and community cohesion
author(s): hipp, john r; perrin, andrew | abstract: recent scholarship has suggested that cohesion at the neighbourhood level may not translate into greater cohesion for the broader community and may even have detrimental effects. employing a sample from a recently developed 'new urbanist' community within a southern us city, the paper simultaneously explores the determinants of perceived cohesion with the local neighbourhood and with the broader community. it is found that there is indeed a positive relationship between the two in this sample. however, the determinants of the two differ: while both strong and weak informal ties in the neighbourhood increase perceived neighbourhood cohesion, only weak ties foster perceived cohesion with the broader community. no effect is found of residents' structural positions within local networks on perceived cohesion beyond the effect of strong and weak ties. the paper ends with a discussion of the implications of the findings for the broader literature viewing the effects of bridging and bonding social capital.
