Lynne,

*You may find this book useful: Martin van der Gaag -
*Measurement of individual Social Capital
*
*More information: http://www.xs4all.nl/~gaag/work/

and thinking about your proposal (not just the measure), have a 
look for a similar approach in the context of technology adoption 
in educational contexts:

frank, k. a., zhao, y. & borman, k. (2004). social capital and the 
diffusion of innovations within organizations: the case of computer 
technology in schools. sociology of education, 77, 148-171.

Hope it helps, j.
