Objectives:
to describe the formative research carried out during the implementation of respondent driven sampling to assess human papillomavirus prevalence among gay men, men who have sex with men, and female sex workers in Brazil.
Methods:
meetings were held between the study team, healthcare professionals, and representatives of social movements. Two capital cities from each region of Brazil were included between 2018 and 2021, totaling 11 meetings.
Results:
the discussions addressed logistical feasibility, the definition of incentives and benefits, the selection of seeds, and expectations regarding recruitment.
Final Considerations:
formative research is essential for developing studies that use the respondent-driven sampling method, as the involvement of target population representatives supports the collection of information on their specific characteristics.
