A N-of-1 social network approach to study the social dynamics of alcohol consumption
Respondents either drew upon their social resources and implemented strategies to support behaviour change or experienced social strain and poor mental health in the absence of supportive social strategies. Future research should explore how social networks can impact maintaining non-drinking status and accessing supports. Mixed methods research combining N-of-1, EMA, and egonets can provide novel insights into social dynamics.
