The PROSPER study is the premier study of adolescent peer networks in the world.

Introductory chapters explain the theories of adolescent development and network influence, and the elements of peer network science, while the remaining chapters focus on a particular topic or domain of adolescent behavior, bringing together advances in the field across several disciplines.
