N2 - Results of a study of the relationship between social networks and the health status of the unemployed, which used data gathered in the National Survey of Personal Health Practices and Consequences, are described. The number of and contact with close friends and relatives were predictive of health status for unemployed people beyond what is attributable to demographic factors.
