这项研究调查了拉丁美洲人的社交网络特征和健康促进行为（定期体检、不喝酒、不吃快餐、满足休闲时间体力活动和睡眠时间的建议）之间的关系，以确定行为干预的潜在目标。个人网络特征和健康行为数据是从加利福尼亚州圣地亚哥县 393 名成年拉丁裔（73% 女性）的社区样本中收集的。网络特征包括规模和组成。网络规模是根据姓名生成器调查问卷上列出的改变者数量计算的，该调查问卷引出受访者与他们讨论个人问题的人。网络组成变量是姓名生成器中列出的拉丁裔、西班牙语、女性、家人和朋友的比例。其他网络构成变量包括婚姻状况和家庭中成人或儿童的数量。网络成员主要是拉丁裔（95%）、西班牙语（80%）、女性（64%）和家庭（55%）。在多元逻辑回归分析中，性别调节了网络组成（而非规模）与健康行为之间的关系。已婚女性比已婚男性更有可能进行例行体检。对于男性和女性来说，拥有更大的网络与满足休闲时间体育活动的建议相关。很少有社交网络特征与健康促进行为显着相关，这表明需要检查可能影响健康行为的社会关系的其他方面。
This study examined the relationship between social network characteristics and health promoting behaviors (having a routine medical check-up, consuming no alcohol, consuming no fast food, and meeting recommendations for leisure-time physical activity and sleep duration) among Latinos to identify potential targets for behavioral interventions. Personal network characteristics and health behavior data were collected from a community sample of 393 adult Latinos (73% women) in San Diego County, California. Network characteristics consisted of size and composition. Network size was calculated by the number of alters listed on a name generator questionnaire eliciting people with whom respondents discussed personal issues. Network composition variables were the proportion of Latinos, Spanish-speakers, females, family, and friends listed in the name generator. Additional network composition variables included marital status and the number of adults or children in the household. Network members were predominately Latinos (95%), Spanish-speakers (80%), females (64%), and family (55%). In multivariate logistic regression analyses, gender moderated the relationship between network composition, but not size, and a health behavior. Married women were more likely to have had a routine medical check-up than married men. For both men and women, having a larger network was associated with meeting the recommendation for leisure-time physical activity. Few social network characteristics were significantly associated with health promoting behaviors, suggesting a need to examine other aspects of social relationships that may influence health behaviors.
