Evolution of social networks during the intervention period. (a). Advice networks at weeks four and twelve. (b). Discussion networks at weeks four and twelve. Density, the proportion of links in the network, increased from 0.082 to 0.182 in the advice network (t = 2.13, p < 0.05); and from 0.027 to 0.055 in the discussion network (t = 1.02, p > 0.05). This greater than two-fold increase represents a substantial shift in reported network partners over eight weeks of programmatic activity.
