Modelling Predictors of Homophily on Perceived Oral Health Status Among Social Network Ties in a Population of Public Housing Residents
Oral health homophily is predicted by relationship strength and 'excellent/very good/good' oral health. Respondents with poorer oral health and a smoking history were less homophilous in oral health. Multilevel interventions targeting oral health outcomes may benefit from accounting for social relationships.
