Hardback. Condición: Very Good. Relationships and the pattern of relationships have a large and varied influence on both individual and group action. The fundamental distinction of social network analysis research is that relationships are of paramount importance in explaining behavior. Because of this, social network analysis offers many exciting tools and techniques for research and practice in a wide variety of medical and public health situations including organizational improvements, understanding risk behaviors, coordinating coalitions, and the delivery of health care services. This book provides an introduction to the major theories, methods, models, and findings of social network analysis research and application. In three sections, it presents a comprehensive overview of the topic; first in a survey of its historical and theoretical foundations, then in practical descriptions of the variety of methods currently in use, and finally in a discussion of its specific applications for behavior change in a public health context. Throughout, the text has been kept clear, concise, and comprehensible, with short mathematical formulas for some key indicators or concepts. Researchers and students alike will find it an invaluable resource for understanding and implementing social network analysis in their own practice.…

Paperback. Condición: New. Social networks are important sources of influence on many personal, organizational, community, and societal behaviors. Network interventions (NIs) are purposeful and planned efforts to use social networks or social network data to generate social influence, accelerate behavior change, improve performance or quality, and/or achieve desirable outcomes among individuals, communities, organizations, or populations.This book is designed to be a guide or primer on how to use the powerful and formal set of mathematical and computational tools developed in the network analysis field to engage individuals, communities, organizations, and/or populations to bring about change. This change can be the spread of information, culture changes, attitude shifts, or accelerating adoption of new behaviors. It is designed to inform medical and public health professionals who are often tasked with promoting behaviors that improve health or prevent disease at the individual, organizational, community, regional, and/or national levels. It is also designed to be a book useful when the chief medical officer of a hospital or medical care organization turns to a colleague and says, "[O]ur rate of handwashing (or insert X) is too low and we need to increase that." The colleague can then offer a copy of this book, which provides a wide-ranging set of options on how to achieve such changes. It can also be applied to non-healthcare organizations and settings whenever someone wants to bring about cultural or behavioral change. Some of these options, such as network-identified opinion leaders, have considerable evidence, while others have none. The robust evidence base for NIs provides the basis for this book, with the goal of providing practical guidance to enable more widespread use of them.The book focuses on how to actively harness the influence of networks to engage people and organizations in behavior change efforts and improve the development and delivery of interventions.Thomas W. Valente, PhD is Professor in the Department of Population and Public Health Sciences, Keck School of Medicine, University of Southern California, Los Angeles, CA, USA.…
