Size estimation of key populations and ‘bridge populations’ based on the network scale-up method in Ukraine
Journal: BMC Public Health
Year: 2024

NSUM proves reliable for estimating key populations size with appropriate corrections. It shows promise for further use in Ukraine, considering limited geographic coverage of the integrated bio-behavioral studies to use multiplier-based methods. However, the validity concerns persist for estimating bridge populations size, emphasizing the need for further method refinement and addressing implementation issues, particularly those related to data collection.
