Respondent Driven Sampling
Respondent driven sampling (RDS) is a network sampling technique typically employed for hard-to-reach populations (e.g. drug users, men who have sex with men, people with HIV). Similar to snowball sampling, initial seed respondents recruit additional respondents from their network of friends. The recruiting process repeats iteratively, thereby forming long referral chains. Unlike in snowball sa...

متن کاملDiagnostics for Respondent-driven Sampling.
Respondent-driven sampling (RDS) is a widely used method for sampling from hard-to-reach human populations, especially populations at higher risk for HIV. Data are collected through peer-referral over social networks. RDS has proven practical for data collection in many difficult settings and is widely used.

متن کاملRespondent-Driven Sampling in Online Social Networks
Abstract. Respondent-driven sampling (RDS) is a commonly used method for acquiring data on hidden communities, i.e., those that lack unbiased sampling frames or face social stigmas that make their members unwilling to identify themselves. Obtaining accurate statistical data about such communities is important because, for instance, they often have different health burdens from the greater popul...
متن کاملRespondent-driven Sampling in the Real World
In many countries, HIV/AIDS infections are concentrated in 3 high-risk groups: injection drug users, sex workers, and men who have sex with men. Accurate information about disease prevalence and risk behaviors in these groups is therefore critical for designing and evaluating HIV prevention programs. Respondent-driven sampling (RDS) is a relatively new method that allows researchers to collect ...
