Abstract
Social media represents a promising strategy to deliver and engage participants in smoking cessation intervention. Previous analyses have highlighted the potential of this medium as a resource for requesting or offering information, discussing smoking [1], and exchanging social support [2] in the context of a public quit smoking Facebook page. Here, we used social network analysis to characterize the extent of and relationship among users in a quit smoking intervention conducted through private groups on Facebook.
