The process of conducting a Social Network Analysis typically involves several steps:
1. Data Collection: Gathering data on the interactions between individuals. This can be done through surveys, interviews, or by analyzing existing data sources such as contact tracing logs. 2. Network Construction: Creating a visual representation of the network, where nodes represent individuals and edges represent interactions. 3. Network Metrics Calculation: Calculating various network metrics such as degree centrality, betweenness centrality, and closeness centrality to understand the network's structure and identify key nodes. 4. Analysis and Interpretation: Analyzing the network to draw conclusions about the spread of disease and to identify potential intervention points.
