有人认为，受访者驱动抽样（RDS）在产生流行病学结果的无偏估计方面的成功取决于参与者产生长转诊链的能力。虽然这被认为取决于参与者在目标人群中认识的人的数量，但这种想法很少得到验证。此外，很少有人注意到社会联系在招聘中的其他方面的作用，例如参与者对当地俱乐部和场所的参与。我们研究了年轻黑人男同性恋者（YBMSM）的招募潜力是否取决于(1)他们的社会网络规模和(2)他们在不同地理区域的各种性场所的隶属关系。我们分析了2014年RDS对芝加哥南部598个YBMSM的研究数据。参与者的个人网络规模和他所隶属的不同类型性场所的数量与(1)参与者预期推荐链中的新成员总数和(2)这些链的长度显著正相关。然而，在多元模型中，只有地点归属与招聘潜力仍然显著相关。RDS在生成有效样本方面的成功可能更多地取决于招募参与社区内多个场所（即他们的隶属关系网络）的参与者，而不是招募那些拥有大型个人社交网络的参与者。
It has been argued that the success of respondent-driven sampling (RDS) in generating unbiased estimates for epidemiologic outcomes depends on participants’ abilities to generate long referral chains. While this is thought to depend on the number of people participants know in the target population, this idea is rarely tested. Furthermore, little attention has been paid to the role of other aspects of social connectedness in recruitment, such as participants’ involvement in local clubs and venues. We examine whether the recruitment potential of young Black men who have sex with men (YBMSM) depends on (1) their social network size and (2) their affiliations with a variety of sex venues across geographic areas. We analyze data from a 2014 RDS study of 598 YBMSM on the south side of Chicago. Both a participant’s personal network size and the number of different types of sex venues with which he was affiliated were significantly positively associated with (1) the total number of recruits in the participant’s prospective referral chains and (2) the lengths of those chains. However, only venue affiliation remain significantly associated with recruitment potential in the multivariate model. The success of RDS in generating valid samples may depend more on recruiting participants who are involved in multiple venues within the community (i.e., their affiliation networks) than on recruiting those who have large personal social networks.
