Description
Session title: Social networks and health in low-and middle-income settingsThe study of social networks (SN) applied to health problems in low- and middle-income countries (LMIC) has increased in recent years, yet remains scarce when compared to higher income countries. The objective of this session is to present recent research on these three joint themes and to provide an overview of different health issues and contexts from which social network analysis (SNA) expertise is being built in these regions. In addition to theoretical and methodological reflections on the application of SNA in these contexts, we particularly encourage the submission of applied work that employs a mixed-methods approach. Furthermore, we welcome presentations that address the challenges associated with integrating multiple disciplines in a SNA study, as well as those that explore the use of SNA in the field of infectious, non-communicable diseases, and mental health issues. The focus may be either on the results of health-related research, conceptual considerations and/or the ethical and logistical challenges of implementing this type of research in LMIC.
