Title
Statistical adjustment of network degree in respondent-driven sampling estimators: Venue attendance as a proxy for network size among young MSM.
Abstract
•A new venue-based degree measure is introduced to adjust reported network size.•Computed venue-informed RDS estimates for population HIV/syphilis seroprevalence are used.•Venue-informed RDS estimates had smaller variance than the standard reported size.•Venue-informed RDS estimates demonstrate reduced bias compared to the standard reported size.•Venue attendance may provide a better performed degree measure for RDS estimates.
