社会网络分析应用在前两个时间点的纵向研究，探讨如何在青少年吸烟和吸毒与社会地位的同龄人群体结构。一所学校的150名初二年级的学生给六个最好的朋友起名叫小费。这使得每个青少年都可以被归类为群体成员、群体外围成员或相对孤立的人。结果发现，冒险行为发生在所有的社会地位。在研究的两个时间点，处于同龄群体边缘的学生的行为既反映了性别，也反映了群体本身的行为。在研究的第二个时间点，冒险组外围的学生比非冒险组外围的学生多得多。这种关系似乎验证了冒险和非冒险行为主要是在同伴集群的背景下学习的，冒险的同伴集群作为一个更大的焦点的影响和选择的周边学生在他们的发展的关键阶段比不冒险的同伴集群。我们的研究结果与关于吸烟和吸毒的同伴压力的辩论有关。
Social network analysis is applied at the first two time points of a longitudinal study which examines how smoking and drug use in adolescence is associated with social position within peer group structures. One hundred and fifty secondary second grade students in one school named tip to six best friends. This allowed for the categorization of each adolescent as a group member, a group peripheral, or a relative isolate. It was found that risk-taking behaviour occurred across all social positions. At both time points of the study the behaviour of pupils on the periphery of peer groups reflected both the gender and the behaviour of the groups themselves. At the second time point of the study there were far more pupils on the periphery of risk-taking groups than on the periphery of non-risk taking groups. The relationship appears to verify that risk-taking and non-risk-taking behaviour is learned predominantly in the context of peer clusters, and that risk-taking peer clusters act as a greater focus of influence and selection of peripheral pupils at a key stage in their development than do non-risk-taking peer clusters. Our findings are relevant in the debate about peer pressure in relation to smoking and drug use.
