Assessing the dynamics of PrEP adoption in a national-scale physician network
This study examines the adoption of a new preventive treatment for HIV called preexposure prophylaxis (PrEP) in a nation-wide network of US physicians. We compare the structure of these networks across nine multi-state census regions, and assess geographic variations in network structure. Within these networks, we measured the adoption threshold associated with physician adoption of PrEP. The low threshold values that we observe are consistent with the hypothesis that slow PrEP adoption is the result of a lack of knowledge and exposure among physicians. Regression results demonstrate the mix of market, epidemiological, and socio/cultural factors that shape adoption thresholds.
期刊介绍:
Social Networks is an interdisciplinary and international quarterly. It provides a common forum for representatives of anthropology, sociology, history, social psychology, political science, human geography, biology, economics, communications science and other disciplines who share an interest in the study of the empirical structure of social relations and associations that may be expressed in network form. It publishes both theoretical and substantive papers. Critical reviews of major theoretical or methodological approaches using the notion of networks in the analysis of social behaviour are also included, as are reviews of recent books dealing with social networks and social structure.
