Social Network Analysis Web-tool and App (Sociometric)

This section outlines how future users can use HAIRE's web-based tool and/or app, called Sociometric, to process Social Network Analysis (SNA) data. The tool is available in English, French and Dutch, and provides basic analysis - including:

• Demographic information, e.g. age, gender etc., for all participants.
• Participant connections, e.g. the average number of connections people have to others, the average number of connections that participants use for health advice, the strength of the connections and how often people interact with their connections.
• Connection types, e.g. friends, family, neighbour, work colleagues etc.

More advanced analyses can be applied to the data collected via HAIRE's SNA surveys (paper or app version). If users require more in-depth analysis, we advice collaborating with professionals that have SNA expterise. HAIRE's SNA expert was Professor Arunangsu Chatterjee, University of Plymouth, UK (email: arunangsu.chatterjee@plymouth.ac.uk).
