Resumo: Historically, the epidemiology of sexually transmitted diseases (STD) has been based on individual attributes and behavior. However, STD constitute a good example of diseases that depend on personal contacts for dissemination. Social network analysis is a relatively new technique that studies the interactions among people. Since 1985 when it was first used for STD, some studies have been done using the technique, especially in the last 10 years. The two network-based designs, sociocentric or complete networks and egocentric or personal networks, are currently recognized as important tools for a better understanding of STD's dynamic. Here an overview is presented of social network analysis: the technique, its use, and its limitations. Ethical considerations regarding social network analyses are also briefly discussed.

Entretanto, tais patologias se configuram em um bom exemplo de doenças que dependem do contato pessoal para disseminação. A análise de rede social é uma técnica epidemiológica que estuda as interações entre as pessoas, baseando-se, no caso das DST, na busca de contatos. Desde 1985, quando foi utilizada pela primeira vez no estudo das DST, várias pesquisas têm sido realizadas utilizando-se dessa metodologia, principalmente nos últimos dez anos. Suas duas formas de uso, análise sociométrica ou completa e análise egocêntrica ou pessoal, são atualmente reconhecidas como peças importantes para um melhor entendimento da dinâmica das DST. Em nosso artigo, procuraremos apresentar uma revisão do assunto no que diz respeito à descrição da técnica, suas utilidades e aplicações corriqueiras e suas limitações. Discutiremos também brevemente, as considerações éticas relacionadas à análise de rede social.Reports in Public HealthCadernos de Saúde Pública2007-01-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersiontext/htmlapplication/pdfhttps://cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br/ojs/index.php/csp/article/view/3185Reports in Public Health; Vol. 23 No. 15 (2007): Supplement 3Cadernos de Saúde Pública; v. 23 n. 15 (2007): Suplemento 31678-44640102-311Xreponame:Cadernos de Saúde Públicainstname:Fundação Oswaldo Cruz (FIOCRUZ)instacron:FIOCRUZenghttps://cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br/ojs/index.php/csp/article/view/3185/6434https://cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br/ojs/index.php/csp/article/view/3185/6435Périssé, André Reynaldo SantosNery, José Augusto da Costainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2024-03-06T15:27:27Zoai:ojs.teste-cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br:article/3185Revistahttps://cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br/ojs/index.php/csphttps://cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br/ojs/index.php/csp/oaicadernos@ensp.fiocruz.br||cadernos@ensp.fiocruz.br1678-44640102-311Xopendoar:2024-03-06T13:03:42.446688Cadernos de Saúde Pública - Fundação Oswaldo Cruz (FIOCRUZ)true
