Abstract
⺠We examine associations between network social capital and self-rated health, after controlling for perceived social support. ⺠Network social capital is measured with the position generator. ⺠Network social capital cannot be equated with social support. ⺠Social capital from higher classes is beneficial for health. ⺠Working class social capital is rather detrimental for health.
