Peer communication is a vital component of the knowledge translation process for healthcare practitioners, and emerging web 2.0 tools are providing virtual venues to facilitate this communication. Using social network analysis methods this paper will attempt to explore the communication patterns that emerge out of the Pediatric Pain Mailing List. The analysis will assess the overall health of the communication network, identify users and subjects of interest, and it will isolate potential subgroups that exist within the community. These results will be presented to the user using the VECoN system, developed as part of this project to present the structure of communication networks graphically to the user through the use of social network analysis methods.
