All participants self\u2010identified as Black, with six indicating Hispanic or Latino ethnicity. One participant self\u2010identified as male. Networks had a median size of 10, with 54% of all possible ties present and an average of 5 structurally distinct connections within each network. Boston networks had a larger proportion of kin (71%) compared to those in Chicago (40%). There was greater diversity in sex and education within Boston networks. Chicago networks displayed more balanced strong and weak ties and higher prevalence of health problems within networks. Smoking and drinking behaviors clustered within networks across both sites, which may reflect patterns of behavioral homophily or social influence.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Differences in network density, constraint, and diversity highlight structural and relational patterns that may influence how health behaviors develop.
