Egocentric networks of community medicine distributors. Figure 2 presents 34 egocentric networks where the ego of interest is the community medicine distributor (CMD). There were two CMDs per village and the numbers above the graphs correspond to the village ID. These plots are not ordered by any descriptive or network characteristics. The subgraphs were extracted from full village networks and each neighbor of the CMD and all corresponding edges between those neighbors were included. Vertices in these networks are households and edges indicate friendship ties between households. The CMD household is the red vertex in the center of the subgraph. Wide variation in clustering—the frequency that friends of CMDs also were friends—is easily observable across villages. For example, the star and star-like ego networks in village ID 1 have clustering coefficients of 0 and 0.067 and the ego networks of village ID 7 have clustering coefficients of 0.168 and 0.191
