Engagg “Hard-to-Reach” PopulatnsHistorilly, LGBTQ populatns were not only hard-to-reach given the geographic dispersn and small numbers, but many dividuals did not sire to be intified; anti-gay stigma and social and legal discrimatn ntributed to people’s unwillgns to participate (Hugh, Emel, Hans, & Zangeneh, 2016; Meyer & Wilson, 2009).

RPONNT-DRIVEN SAMPLG AMONG GAY AND BISEXUAL MEN: EXPERIENC OM A NEW ZEALAND PILOT STUDY
Background Behavural surveillance and rearch among gay and other men who have sex wh men (GMSM) monly reli on non-random recment approach. Methodologil challeng lim their abily to accurately reprent the populatn of adult GMSM. We pared the social and behavural profil of GMSM reced via venue-based, onle, and rponnt-driven samplg (RDS) and discsed their utily for behavural surveillance. Methods Data om four studi were selected to reflect each recment method. We pared mographic characteristics and the prevalence of key ditors cludg sexual and HIV ttg practic obtaed om sampl reced through different methods, and populatn timat om rponnt-driven samplg partn analysis. Rults Overall, the soc-mographic profile of GMSM was siar across sampl, wh some differenc observed age and sexual intifitn. Men reced through time-lotn samplg appeared more nnected to the gay muny, reported a greater number of sexual partners, but engaged ls unprotected anal terurse wh regular (UAIR) or sual partners (UAIC). The RDS sample overtimated the proportn of HIV-posive men and appeared to rec men wh an overall higher number of sexual partners. A sgle-webse survey reced a sample wh characteristics which differed nsirably om the populatn timat wh regards to age, ethnilly diversy and behavur. Data acquired through time-lotn samplg unrtimated the rat of UAIR and UAIC, while RDS and onle samplg both generated sampl that unrtimated UAIR. Simulated pose sampl bg recs om time-lotn and multi-webse onle samplg may produce characteristics more nsistent wh the populatn timat, particularly wh regards to sexual practic. Concln Rponnt-driven samplg produced the sample that was most nsistent to populatn timat, but this methodology is plex and logistilly mandg. Time-lotn and onle recment are more st-effective and easier to implement; g the approach batn may offer the potential to rec a more reprentative sample of GMSM. * gay sampling technique *
(2014) quickly reced participants after postg clear and purposeful ads on gay-specific social media and datg apps. For example, Panozzo (2015) relied on gay father participants to refer or vouch for the study to other gay fathers (though should be noted that this still risks producg a sample posed of very siar participants). Theoretil samplg shaped her targeted recment of 56 gay fathers (i.
E., gay fathers of lor, sgle gay fathers, gay fathers not nnected to a parent support group) who would have often been left out of rearch that utilized other samplg methods. The fai of lbians and gay men: A new ontier fay rearch.
