Training Workshop The goal of this conference is to introduce demographers to the techniques of social network analysis - from the impact it has on data collection instruments, to the issues it raises for sampling methodology, to the range of methods available for network data analysis, and finally, to what we have learned from network studies regarding the spread of HIV. The training workshop is intended to provide a detailed practicum in the design and analysis of network studies. The training workshop will be held over two days just prior to the conference itself. Participants will receive both an introduction to the concepts and methods of social network analysis, and hands-on training on the use of computer packages. This workshop will be most useful to people who are either planning to conduct a network study and want to know how to design the sample and questionnaires; or people who will be analyzing network data they have already collected. It is intended for English speaking demographers. Instructors:
