  • Lessons learned from the Covid-19 pandemic

    Open AccessDeanna Tollefson, Anthony W Mounts et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2025

    INTRODUCTION: The COVID-19 pandemic strained public health infrastructure in low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs), leading them to leverage resources of existing public health programmes including HIV, tuberculosis (TB) and malaria. This manuscript systematically documents how these programmes were used in response to understand both the barriers and facilitators encountered in the process. METHODS: From March through August 2023, we co…

  • Estimated population size of the people who inject drugs in Thai Nguyen, Vietnam

    Open AccessLy Thuy Nguyen, Anindya K De et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2022

    To develop an appropriate programmatic response to the concentrated HIV epidemic, program managers require reliable estimates of the sizes of the key populations. This study attempts to estimate the population size of people who inject drugs (PWID) in Thai Nguyen—a province in the northern part of Vietnam. Two source capture-recapture population size estimates were calculated using data from two respondent driven sampling survey rounds conducted …

  • Survey Methods for Estimating the Size of Weak-Tie Personal Networks

    Open AccessDennis M Feehan, Vo Hai Son et al.ARTICLESociological Methodology2022Cited by: 5References: 11

    Researchers increasingly use aggregate relational data to learn about the size and distribution of survey respondents’ weak-tie personal networks. Aggregate relational data are collected by asking questions about respondents’ connectedness to many different groups (e.g., “How many teachers do you know?”). This approach can be powerful, but to use aggregate relational data, researchers must locate external information about the size of each group …

    Those who engage in illegal or stigmatized behaviors, which put them at risk of HIV infection, are largely concentrated in urban centers. Owing to their illegal and/ or stigmatized behaviors, they are difficult to reach with public health surveillance and prevention programs. 1 These populations include illicit drug users, sex workers and men who have sex with men. Development and implementation of adequate prevention services targeting hidden po…

  • Respondent-Driven Sampling in a Study of Drug Users in New York City

    Open AccessCourtney McKnight, Don C Des Jarlais et al.ARTICLEJournal of Urban Health2006Cited by: 10References: 1

    Beth Israel Medical Center (BIMC), in collaboration with the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and the New York State Department of Health (NYSDOH), used respondent-driven sampling (RDS) in a study of HIV seroprevalence among drug users in New York City in 2004. We report here on operational issues with RDS including recruitment, coupon distribution, storefront operations, police and community relations, and the overall lessons we learned. Projec…
