Introduction to social network analysis workshop

Location: 155 College Street, Room 412


This is a two-day workshop that covers the essentials of social network analysis. The workshop is particularly useful for researchers who are interested in learning about theories and methods of analyzing social interactions, including (but not limited to) inter-individual and inter-organizational communication and partnership, social influence, social support, friendship and trust.

The workshop will cover a brief overview of network theories and an introduction to the methodology of data collection and analysis of social networks. The participants will learn about the major social network theories and their implications for health research, will be able to choose and adapt the optimal data collection techniques for their research, to prepare collected data for the analysis, to draw basic graphical network maps, to analyze social networks descriptively, and to choose appropriate statistical techniques to test hypotheses.

Requirements

No prior knowledge in network analysis is required. The participants should be familiar with basics of statistics.  Some of the small group exercises will be done in UCINET software. It is preferred if you bring your own laptop on which UCINET is installed.
