health networks  

Definición

  • Social networks have traditionally been posited to affect health status through five basic mechanisms: social support (both perceived and actual); social influence (such as attitudes or norms); access to resources (money, occupations, information, or knowledge); social involvement (both exclusion and inclusion); and transmission of disease or disease-related factors (such as human immunodeficiency virus and acquired immune deficiency syndrome (HIV/AIDS), mucus, and secondhand cigarette smoke). People are interconnected, and thus their health is interconnected. [Source: Encyclopedia of Social Networks; Health Networks]
