Summary

This exploratory study will carry out a respondent-driven sampling exercise, where participants will identify their previous injecting partners and contact these individuals to invite them to take an Hepatitis C test. The data from participants about their injecting network will be used to construct a social network map (egonet) of the interlinking injecting networks. The numbers of individuals identified in the injecting networks will be used to estimate the size of the injecting population in Dundee. Participants will be interviewed to find out how they felt about the processes used.
