Summary
Social networks often play critical and complex roles in the recovery process. Recent advancements in methods for measuring and modeling social networks create opportunities to advance the science of recovery by testing theories and treatment models with a more explicit focus on the dynamic roles of social environments. This chapter provides a primer on several methods for measuring and modeling social network data, including those that use egocentric approaches (i.e., where social networks are modeled as characteristics of individuals) and sociocentric approaches (i.e., where social networks are modeled as complete entities of interconnected individuals). Aspects of measurement and analysis that commonly differ for social network data are highlighted. Examples of research on substance use disorders that apply these methods are also described to illustrate the types of insights that may be obtained using these approaches.
