We also recognize that further methodological work is needed. There has been considerable inconsistency in how recovery capital has been conceptualized and measured (Hennessy, 2017). It is possible that distinct aspects of recovery capital (e.g., internal attitudes or behaviors; interpersonal relationships) are more or less salient. Although we found few differences by gender, we look forward to future studies that confirm its validity across other dimensions (e.g., racial/ethnic and age groups) and that identify the most salient aspects that could be leveraged in interventions to support recovery.
