Dr. Tom Valente ([log in to unmask])
(http://www-hsc.usc.edu/~tvalente) has written Network Diffusion and
provides software to very easily and quite inexpensively analyze
network connections.  The Health Communication Unit (www.thcu.ca)
offers a sourcebook on this topic and has the text in our in-house
library.

The Ontario Health Promotion Resource System (www.ohprs.ca) has used
this approach in its evaluation, under the direction of Dr. Brian
Rush.

Hope this helps -

Subject: Looking for network mapping tools and models


> Dear Colleagues,
>
> The Health Promotion Resource team at the Ontario Prevention
Clearinghouse
> (OPC) is about to engage in a network mapping process to assess the
breadth
> and depth of our current individual, organizational and community
> relationships.
>
> The OPC Health Promotion Resource Centre supports groups and
individuals
> working to strengthen population-based health
> promotion.(http://www.opc.on.ca).
>
> We are looking for models of network mapping that others have used
to track
> your networks, particularly models that assess the degree of
connectivity.
> This would include an assessment of all kinds of organizational
> relationships from committee and board members, to advisors and
partners, as
> well as more informal networks that may involve information or
resource
> sharing.
>
> We want to understand and strengthen the linkages and networks that
we have
> in OPC, and to set priorities for new networks that could help us
expand the
> health promotion field, and increase our capacity for collaboration
and
> exchange.
>
> We would appreciate learning about any network mapping models that
are out
> there, including survey questions, checklists, and frameworks.
>
>
> Many thanks!
