Abstract: 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. Copyright Swiss School of Public Health 2014
