Resumo: Sampling strategies such as respondent-driven sampling (RDS) and time-location sampling (TLS) offer unique opportunities to access key populations such as men who have sex with men (MSM) and transgender women. Limited work has assessed implementation challenges of these methods. Overcoming implementation challenges can improve research quality and increase uptake of HIV services among key populations. Drawing from studies using RDS in Brazil and TLS in Peru, we summarize challenges encountered in the field and potential strategies to address them. In Brazil, study site selection, cash incentives, and seed selection challenged RDS implementation with MSM. In Peru, expansive geography, safety concerns, and time required for study participation complicated TLS implementation with MSM and transgender women. Formative research, meaningful participation of key populations across stages of research, and transparency in study design are needed to link HIV/AIDS research and practice. Addressing implementation challenges can close gaps in accessing services among those most burdened by the epidemic.

No obstante, son pocos los estudios que evalúan los desafíos de implementación de esos métodos. Tenemos como objetivo presentar los principales desafíos en la implementación de los RDS en Brasil y TLS en Perú. En Brasil, el lugar de la investigación, la selección de las muestras, y el tipo de compensación fueron desafíos en la implementación del RDS-HSH. Y en Perú, las cuestiones geográficas, preocupaciones con la seguridad, y el tiempo necesario para participar en el estudio complicaron el TLS con HSH y mujeres transexuales. Se trata de una investigación formativa, con participación de las poblaciones claves en todas las fases de la investigación, y transparencia en el desarrollo del estudio, todo ello necesario para la utilización práctica de los resultados. Mejorar la implementación de esas investigaciones puede contribuir a aumentar el acceso a los servicios de prevención y control del VIH/SIDA entre aquellos que más lo necesitan.Estratégias de amostragem como respondent-driven sampling (RDS) e time-location sampling (TLS) são importantes opções metodológicas para acessar populações chaves para a epidemia de HIV/AIDS como homens que fazem sexo com homens (HSH) e mulheres transexuais. Porém são poucos os estudos que avaliam desafios de implementação desses métodos. Objetivamos apresentar os principais desafios na implementação dos RDS no Brasil e TLS no Peru. No Brasil, o local da pesquisa, a seleção das sementes, e o tipo de ressarcimento foram desafios na implementação do RDS-HSH. E no Peru, as questões geográficas, preocupações com segurança, e o tempo necessário para participar no estudo complicaram o TLS com HSH e mulheres transexuais. Pesquisa formativa, participação das populações chaves em todas as fases da pesquisa, e transparência no desenvolvimento do estudo são necessários para utilização prática dos resultados. Melhorar a implementação dessas pesquisas pode contribuir para aumentar o acesso aos serviços de prevenção e controle do HIV/AIDS entre aqueles que mais precisam.Reports in Public HealthCadernos de Saúde Pública2016-11-03info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersiontext/htmlapplication/pdfhttps://cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br/ojs/index.php/csp/article/view/6018Reports in Public Health; Vol. 32 No. 10 (2016): OctoberCadernos de Saúde Pública; v. 32 n. 10 (2016): Outubro1678-44640102-311Xreponame:Cadernos de Saúde Públicainstname:Fundação Oswaldo Cruz (FIOCRUZ)instacron:FIOCRUZenghttps://cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br/ojs/index.php/csp/article/view/6018/12654https://cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br/ojs/index.php/csp/article/view/6018/12655Sarah MacCarthySari ReisnerMichael HoffmannAmaya Perez-BrumerAlfonso Silva-SantistebanAmy NunnLeonardo BastosMauricio Teixeira Leite de VasconcellosLigia KerrFrancisco Inácio BastosInês Douradoinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2024-03-06T15:29:04Zoai:ojs.teste-cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br:article/6018Revistahttps://cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br/ojs/index.php/csphttps://cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br/ojs/index.php/csp/oaicadernos@ensp.fiocruz.br||cadernos@ensp.fiocruz.br1678-44640102-311Xopendoar:2024-03-06T13:06:52.968652Cadernos de Saúde Pública - Fundação Oswaldo Cruz (FIOCRUZ)true
