Abstract

Objectives

We examined relationships between individual-level community participation, two types of contextual effects―community capacity for mobilization and capacity for health communication—and residents’ self-reported health status in order to explore the role health communication may play in community building for health.

Methods

To estimate multi-level effects of the community participation and the two contextual indicators with self-rated health status, we applied hierarchical generalized linear regression to crosssectional data from the Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey.

Results

After adjusting for individual- and community-level confounders, the likelihood of having high self-rated health status is significantly higher among those who live in a region with higher community capacity for mobilization, higher health communication capacity at the community level, and higher participation in community groups at the individual-level.

Conclusions

Our findings suggest that living in a community characterized by higher levels of communication and mobilization capacity is beneficial to residents’ self-rated health status—increasing the odds of high health status by up to 9 %. Thus, building community capacity in mobilization and health communication may help develop better health promotion campaigns.
