Respondent driven sampling (RDS) is a widely used research method used to collect data from hidden or hard to reach populations through recruiting participants from their social networks.
BRYANT Research Systems has created a web based respondent driven sampling research management system to assist in the collection of data of a respondent driven sampling research site or multiple concurrent study sites. The system ensures the quality and the integrity of the data collected in real time. The system allows for offsite monitoring.
BRYANT Research Systems developed respondent driven sampling software that generates the unique serial numbering used to link a participant and their social network and convert it into a barcode. QR and standard barcodes are compatible with the system.
