Abstract
A sense of community and community involvement are said to have positive effects on health status; however, research supporting such associations is inconclusive. This article uses data from the 1998 NSW Health Survey—an annual telephone survey of approximately 17 000 residents throughout the State—to investigate the association between sense of community and community involvement and self-reported health.https://doi.org/10.1071/NB03058
