Respondent-driven sampling (RDS) is a type of sampling increasingly used to sample from 'hidden' populations, such as injection drug users, the homeless, and immigrants. RDS involves peers recruiting their peers, which can result in rapid study recruitment, but also presents a number of logistical and statistical challenges. This event will provide an introduction to the basic theory of RDS, how best to conduct RDS studies in the field, and current methods for analysing data from RDS studies.
The fee for this course is £30 for UK registered postgraduate students; £60 for staff at UK academic institutions, ESRC funded researchers and registered charity organisations; £220 for all other participants. All fees include event materials, lunch, morning and afternoon tea.
