Dear all,

An other qualitative approach of social network analysis is the technic using by
social workers and health professionals called in french "Génogramme" (Bateson,
1970, École de Palo Alto)

Some standardization of symbols used during interview (in french)
http://www.chez.com/sylviecastaing/genogramme.htm

If you combine interview with questionnaire, missing data will be reduce and
richness of data will be better for interpretation (discussion) of SNA-ONA
results.

To do so, you can also read work about mixed research methods like : Tashakkori
& Teddlie (2003). Handbook of mixed methods in social and behavioral research.
Sage Pub.

Regards,

(Please apologize my english)
