LOINC description : The Important and Health Matters Social Network Battery is an interviewer-administered
survey that captures the names of all individuals within a respondent's social network
and the relationship between these individuals. The high-burden protocol is a semi-structured
interview that has both open-ended and close-ended questions. On average, it takes
15-20 minutes to complete because individuals usually provide 4-7 names. Note that
this measure yields potentially identifiable data about the participant(s). The investigator
should refer to Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) rules
regarding potentially identifiable data, which will provide guidance on who may access
the data and how they may do so. Given HIPAA concerns, researchers should consider
what level of identification is needed on network ties. In one-time data collections,
interviewers can use first names or initials. However, in panel studies, these approaches
run into trouble because respondents tend not to remember the nicknames, initials,
and pseudonyms they gave in earlier waves. It is essential that the interviewer ask
for all names and list them on the interview form (or suggested separate Network Recording
Form) before asking and coding items 2-11 on the form.;
