Convenience Sampling Method00:55

Convenience Sampling Method

Sampling is a technique to select a portion (or subset) of the larger population and study that portion (the sample) to gain information about the population. Data are the result of sampling from a population. The sampling method ensures that samples are drawn without bias and accurately represent the population.
Convenience sampling is a non-random method of sample selection; this method selects individuals that are easily accessible and may result in biased data. For example, a marketing...

Impression Management Techniques II: Ingratiation

Ingratiation refers to deliberate behaviors aimed at increasing one’s attractiveness or likability to a target person, often for strategic interpersonal or social gain. This set of impression management tactics is especially prevalent in hierarchical contexts, where influencing someone with greater power or authority can yield significant benefits. Several distinct ingratiation strategies have been identified, each leveraging psychological cues to foster favor and affiliation.Opinion...

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Epidemiology
  • Social Sciences

Background:

  • Injection drug users often under-report sexual and injection partners, hindering disease transmission network analysis.
  • Incomplete partner recall impedes efforts to control the spread of blood-borne pathogens like HIV and Hepatitis C.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the effectiveness of supplementary elicitation techniques in enhancing injection partner recall.
  • To assess the impact of these techniques on identifying individuals relevant to blood-borne pathogen transmission.

Main Methods:

  • A study involving 61 index drug injectors in Seattle.
  • Utilized supplementary prompting strategies and recall cues to elicit additional injection partners.
  • Compared recalled partners with and without supplementary techniques.

Main Results:

  • Supplementary techniques substantially increased injection partner recall, with 70% of injectors reporting additional partners.
  • An average increase of 75% in recalled partners was observed.
  • Partners elicited via supplementary techniques were as likely to be infected with Hepatitis C virus and engage in risky behaviors.

Conclusions:

  • Supplementary elicitation techniques are effective in improving injection partner recall among drug users.
  • These methods enhance the identification of individuals within transmission networks, crucial for disease control.
  • The techniques significantly increased network connectivity, providing a more comprehensive view of disease spread.
