社会规范与广泛的健康行为有关。在这项研究中，我们研究了艾滋病风险行为的社会规范是否聚集在社交网络内，以及网络成员的规范是否与其社会网络成员的风险行为有关。数据收集自美国费城和泰国清迈354个网络的基线评估，933名参与者参与了以注射吸毒者（IDUs）为目标的网络艾滋病预防干预。四个描述性的艾滋病毒风险规范共享针头，炊具，棉花和前或后加载之间的朋友谁注射进行了评估。四分之三的注射风险规范（共用针头，炊具和棉花）被发现显着聚类。在费城，一个网络成员（指数参与者）的规范共享针头和前或后加载被发现与网络成员的风险行为显着相关，和规范共享棉花是轻微相关。本研究的结果表明，在注射吸毒者中，社会规范聚集在网络中;社交网络是一个有意义的分析水平，了解社会规范如何导致危险行为，提供重要的数据干预，以减少注射相关的艾滋病毒风险。
Social norms have been associated with a wide range of health behaviors. In this study, we examined whether the social norms of HIV risk behaviors are clustered within social networks and whether the norms of network members are linked to the risk behaviors of their social network members. Data were collected from the baseline assessment of 354 networks with 933 participants in a network oriented HIV prevention intervention targeting injection drug users (IDUs) in the Philadelphia, US and Chiang Mai, Thailand. Four descriptive HIV risk norms of sharing needles, cookers, and cotton and front or back-loading among friends who inject were assessed. Three of four injection risk norms (sharing needle, cookers, and cotton) were found to be significantly clustered. In Philadelphia, one network member’s (the index participant) norms of sharing needles and front or back-loading were found to be significantly associated with the network members’ risk behaviors, and the norm of sharing cotton was marginally associated. The results of this study suggest that among injection drug users, social norms are clustered within networks; social networks are a meaningful level of analyses for understanding how social norms lead to risk behaviors, providing important data for intervening to reduce injection related HIV risks.
