Description: "This book brings together eight pioneering studies that have sought to map the networks that spread infection around the world. Each chapter reviews the questions that drove the study, the changes in methodology that were needed to implement a network survey, the mistakes and successes encountered, and the key findings made possible by the network design. An introductory chapter provides an overview of network survey design, a glossary provides a summary of network terminology, and example questionnaires from each study provide a template for further research." "This is a unique and valuable resource for the international public health research community and others interested in empirical studies of networks."--Jacket.
Notes: "This book is the outcome of a conference on 'Partnerships and the spread of HIV and other infections' sponsored by the International Union for the Scientific Study of Population (IUSSP) in Chiang Mai, Thailand in February 2000"--Editor's intro.
