本文评价了应答者驱动抽样（RDS）的有效性，抽样男性与男性发生性关系（MSM）在孟加拉国的达卡。进行这项调查的一个主要目标是确定RDS是否可以成为一个可行的抽样方法，用于未来的MSM以及其他社会网络，难以达到的人口在孟加拉国的常规血清学和行为监测。我们评估的可行性RDS（调查持续时间;男男性接触者的社会网络属性;数量和类型的初始招募）招募一个不同的男男性接触者群体，一个创新的技术（系统的优惠券减少）的有效性，以管理实施和完成的RDS招募过程和原因，男男性接触者参与或不参与。研究结果提供了有用的信息，提高RDS现场技术，并证明RDS是一种有效的抽样方法，招募不同群体的男男性接触者参加艾滋病毒相关的血清学和行为调查在达卡。
This paper evaluates the effectiveness of respondent driven sampling (RDS) to sample males who have sex with males (MSM) in Dhaka, Bangladesh. A major objective for conducting this survey was to determine whether RDS can be a viable sampling method for future routine serologic and behavioral surveillance of MSM as well as other socially networked, hard to reach populations in Bangladesh. We assessed the feasibility of RDS (survey duration; MSM social network properties; number and types of initial recruits) to recruit a diverse group of MSM, the efficacy of an innovative technique (systematic coupon reduction) to manage the implementation and completion of the RDS recruitment process and reasons why MSM participated or did not participate. The findings provide useful information for improving RDS field techniques and demonstrate that RDS is an effective sampling method for recruiting diverse groups of MSM to participate in HIV related serologic and behavioral surveys in Dhaka.
