Authors:	Guri Tyldum Lisa G. Johnston
Keywords:	Populations
Issue Date:	2014
Publisher:	Palgrave Macmillan
Description:	This book is the collaborative effort of a group of 15 researchers from various disciplines, including sociology, economics, public health, epidemiology and anthropology. Each of the authors has experience in using RDS in a migrant population. The idea for this book originated out of a workshop for researchers using RDS to survey migrant populations held at the University of London in 2011. We realized that little had been written on the practical challenges of data collection and analysis for RDS for this group, and the book is written in response to this, summarizing our experiences with RDS and discussing some of the key challenges encountered and the solutions introduced to address migrants. Each chapter is meant to stand alone so that readers can choose to read them in the order they are presented or to jump to chapters that are of most interest to them. The book is collaborative in the sense that the researchers involved have reviewed and provided feedback to each other’s chapters, which are also enhanced by the researchers sharing their own examples from fieldwork. This collaboration has allowed each chapter to draw on a variety of experiences from RDS surveys around the world. A number of examples and illustrations in the book were previously unpublished in their present form. The RDS surveys they build on are described in more detail in Appendix I. For those interested in reading more about specific surveys, available publications are listed in the same appendix.
