The Sensitivity of Respondent-driven Sampling Method
Researchers in many scientific fields make inferences from individuals to larger groups. For many groups however, there is no list of members from which to take a random sample. Respondent-driven sampling (RDS) is a relatively new sampling methodology that circumvents this difficulty by using the social networks of the groups under study. The RDS method has been shown to provide unbiased estima...
متن کاملRespondent 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).

Unlike in snowball sa...

Respondent-driven sampling (RDS) is a network-based technique for estimating traits in hard-to-reach populations, for example, the prevalence of HIV among drug injectors. In recent years RDS has been used in more than 120 studies in more than 20 countries and by leading public health organizations, including the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in the United States.

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. Inference from RDS data requires many strong assumptions because the sampling design is...
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 ...
