This paper describes the use of respondent-driven sampling (RDS) to identify and survey jazz musicians in four U.S. cities-Detroit, New Orleans, New York and San Francisco. RDS has been used previously to sample injection drug users as part of a study of HIV prevention education and services. Through a mechanism of long referral chains and modest incentives, RDS will help to identify the social structure of the jazz musicians' community in the four study cities and their patterns of affiliation. It will also help to document everyday practice and to identify areas of greatest need for living jazz musicians. (c) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
