%X This article draws on the experience from an ongoing research project employing respondentdriven
sampling (RDS) to survey (illicit) 24-hour home care workers. We highlight issues
around the preparatory work and the fielding of the survey to provide researchers with useful
insights on how to implement RDS when surveying populations for which the method has not
yet been used. We conclude the article with ethical considerations that occur when employing
RDS.
