“…Given the prominence of HIV/AIDS in network research, it is no surprise that there have been multiple studies of HIV/AIDS service organizations (86,124,149). In addition, researchers have taken network approaches to understand better the public and private agencies serving the mentally ill and mental health (16,107,131), community agencies addressing child abuse (106), services for the health and social well-being of the elderly (23,69), emergency preparedness and response (72,37), tobacco control (84), cancer support (96), health policy (115), and health promotion (145).…”

“…Among health care systems providing services for specific populations-such as the elderly, mental health patients, or HIV/AIDS patientslinks between agencies consist of sending and receiving client referrals (23,86,107,145,148), sending and receiving funding (84,96,106,124,148), and utilizing joint programs or providing service (23,66,84,86,148). Some researchers identified barriers to interorganizational relationships, namely that building relationships takes resources and can limit autonomy (23,96).…”

Network analysis is an approach to research that is uniquely suited to describing, exploring, and understanding structural and relational aspects of health. It is both a methodological tool and a theoretical paradigm that allows us to pose and answer important ecological questions in public health. In this review we trace the history of network analysis, provide a methodological overview of network techniques, and discuss where and how network analysis has been used in public health. We show how network analysis has its roots in mathematics, statistics, sociology, anthropology, psychology, biology, physics, and computer science. In public health, network analysis has been used to study primarily disease transmission, especially for HIV/AIDS and other sexually transmitted diseases; information transmission, particularly for diffusion of innovations; the role of social support and social capital; the influence of personal and social networks on health behavior; and the interorganizational structure of health systems. We conclude with future directions for network analysis in public health.

“…7 This ap-proach allows the study of the interactions between heterogeneous actors with diverse goals. 8 Despite the challenges of collaboration between multiple sectors, community networks of intersectoral partnerships have been useful for understanding the overall structures between agencies addressing mental health, [9][10][11] child abuse, 12 the health of the elderly, 13 tobacco control, 14 health disparities in cancer, 15 and for the prevention of diabetes. 16 Network analysis has also recently been used to assess state-level active living promotion network in Hawaii.…”

Purpose Conduct a social network analysis of the health and non-health related organizations that participate in the Bogotá’s Ciclovía Recreativa (Ciclovía). Design Cross sectional study. Setting Ciclovía is a multisectoral community-based mass program in which streets are temporarily closed to motorized transport, allowing exclusive access to individuals for leisure activities and PA. Subjects 25 organizations that participate in the Ciclovía. Measures Seven variables were examined using network analytic methods: relationship, link attributes (integration, contact, and importance), and node attributes (leadership, years in the program, and the sector of the organization). Analysis The network analytic methods were based on a visual descriptive analysis and an exponential random graph model. Results Analysis shows that the most central organizations in the network were outside of the health sector and includes Sports and Recreation, Government, and Security sectors. The organizations work in clusters formed by organizations of different sectors. Organization importance and structural predictors were positively related to integration, while the number of years working with Ciclovía was negatively associated with integration. Conclusion Ciclovía is a network whose structure emerged as a self-organized complex system. Ciclovía of Bogotá is an example of a program with public health potential formed by organizations of multiple sectors with Sports and Recreation as the most central.

“…For example, there have been network studies of: HIV/AIDS service organizations (Kwait, Valente, & Celentano, 2001;Shumate, Fulk, & Monge, 2005;Wright & Shuff, 1995), public and private agencies serving the mentally ill/mental health (Becker et al, 1998;Nakao, Milazzo-Sayre, Rosenstein, & Manderscheid, 1986;Tausig, 1987), community agencies addressing child abuse (Mulroy, 1997), services for the health and social well-being of the elderly (Kaluzny, Zuckerman, & Rabiner, 1998), emergency preparedness and response (Bolland & Wilson, 1994;Harris & Clements, 2007;Kapucu, 2005), tobacco control (Harris, Luke, Burke, & Mueller, 2008;Leischow et al, 2008), and diabetes support (Provan, Harvey, & de Zapien, 2005).…”

Introduction: In order to better understand how tobacco control efforts are coordinated across agencies of the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), we assessed tobacco control-related communication between tobacco control leaders across DHHS. Methods:Cross-sectional surveys were collected from individuals representing 11 DHHS agencies, and social network analyses were used to assess linkages and map agencies' tobacco control communication.
