Abstract:
|
Research on the context dependence of health outcomes distinguishes between two different types of social context: patients' neighborhoods of residence and patients' social networks. This paper investigates conceptual difficulties and estimation challenges of separating network effects from neighborhood effects in order to adjudicate their relative contribution to health outcomes. An analysis of neighborhood and network effects in the Framingham Heart Study illustrate the argument.
