A methodological approach to the analysis of egocentric social networks in public health research: a practical example.

Introduction: Research on social networks in public health focuses on how social structures and relationships influence health and health-related behaviour.

Methods: One of the participants of the healthy lifestyle health education workshop 'I'm moving', included in the study of social support for exercise was randomly selected.
