RDS datasets are peculiar in that they contain coupon distribution and redemption information. In order to fully understand the recruitment process, this information needs to be restructured by linking participants. The toy data available here is a typical example of RDS data with basic information that allows linking. This dataset is prepared purely for illustration purposes.
There are a limited number of datasets from RDS studies publicly available through the Inter-university Consortium for Political and Social Research at the University of Michigan. We provide a list of datasets from selected RDS studies in order to encourage users to explore other datasets.
