“…[20][21][22] The success of peer support appears to be due in part to the nonhierarchical, reciprocal relationship created through the sharing of similar experiences with others undergoing the same medical and/ or behavioral tasks and challenges. 18 Such an exchange can be an effective means of gaining mastery and improving disease outcomes. 23,24 In addition, assimilating new knowledge may occur more effectively when presented by peers with whom individuals identify and share common experiences.…”

“…This invariably improved the infant's health as reduced tobacco intake led to increasing in the birth weight. 44 In childhood cancer survivors there were better outcomes for cessation when there was a counselling group than with a self-help group at 8 and 12 month follow ups. If baseline self-efficacy and readiness to change are controlled than the same cohort group is twice as more likely to achieve cessation than self-help group.…”

Smoking and alcohol cessation programs that provide peer support -that is, that modify the social network of the target -have been shown to be more successful (54)(55)(56).

Epidemiological investigations and interventions are increasingly focusing on social networks. Two aspects of social networks are relevant in this regard: the structure of networks and the function of networks. A better understanding of the processes that determine how networks form and how they operate with respect to the spread of behavior holds promise for improving public health. Visualizing social networks is a key to both research and interventions. Network images supplement statistical analyses and allow the identification of groups of people for targeting, the identification of central and peripheral individuals, and the clarification of the macro-structure of the network in a way that should affect public health interventions. People are inter-connected and so their health is inter-connected. Inter-personal health effects in social networks provide a new foundation for public health.
