  4. Discussion • Study-level and neighborhood-level characteristics significantly influence peer recruitment success; individual characteristics were less important • RDSTs increased peer recruitment, facilitated the extension of recruitment chains, and contributed to the recruitment of a more diverse study sample. • Despite negative attitudes about drug use and drug users in the recruitment neighborhoods, RDST attendance, helped participants surmount these recruiting obstacles. • RDSTs could be used to: • Boost peer recruitment for RDS studies • Facilitate the dissemination of intervention materials and messages through peer-driven intervention studies conducted in areas with increased stigma.
