Examining online/offline social capital and its association with online/offline risk behaviors, both at the individual and neighborhood level

Today, social capital is not limited to face-to-face contacts, but also includes social networks online. The present project focuses on the association between online/offline social capital and online/offline risk behaviors, both at the individual and neighborhood level. Therefore, longitudinal data about socio-economic characteristics, social capital and risk behaviors will be collected among 2400 inhabitants of 60 neighborhoods in Ghent.
