This introductory online course will provide students with an understanding of how social interactions may relate to health behaviour and outcomes, the approaches that can be used to study social network influences on health, and network approaches to improving health.

The course is aimed at those with no knowledge of network analysis but with an interest in population health, delivering community services or implementing health interventions. The course will focus on non-communicable disease e.g., mental health, health risk behaviours but not infectious diseases. The course focuses on patterns of relationships between individuals, and not on social media networks.
