Description
Watcharapol Srinor and nine co-authors pilot a web-based chain-referral survey of men who have sex with men in Thailand, in a study from 2024. Chain referral is the standard for reaching hidden at-risk groups, but it is usually local. Web tools remove the place limit yet often rely on self-selected samples.
Their site automated the full survey office flow, from coupon checks and consent to peer training, payment, and tracking. Eligible men completed the survey online, and Bangkok recruits could also visit a clinic for blood tests. Data were weighted for the complex design. The pilot ran for several months in 2024 as a surveillance model.
