You might find the following resource useful in guiding your research for a specific instrument, for it offers various perspectives for instruments based on your purpose statement.
Berkman, L. F., & Glass, T. (2000). Social integration, social networks, social support, and health. Social epidemiology, 1, 137-173.
The second resource is interesting, for it contains several references that might lead you down a particular path based on the direction that you prefer. Check out its vast set of references.
Brissette, I., Cohen, S., & Seeman, T. E. (2000). Measuring social integration and social networks. Social support measurement and intervention: A guide for health and social scientists, 53-85.
Best wishes to you.
