The methodological issues surrounding the use of a privileged access interviewer team to generate a network sample of drug users are examined. Traditionally network samples have tended to be used by qualitative researchers. Privileged access interviewing provides a mechanism for the application of a structured instrument to a network sampling model. In doing so some problematic issues in this area for structured methodology are overcome, reduced or standardized. The use of this method is appraised in terms of meeting the methodological requirements of the Drug Transitions study. The practical experiences of our group in using a privileged access interviewer team to interview more than 400 heroin users, many of whom were not in contact with treatment services, are discussed. This method is most appropriate for the quick collection of data, from diverse networks of drug users, by use of a structured instrument. Success is likely to be dependent on careful implementation. The ongoing monitoring of data quality is of particular importance, as is good management practice and the establishment of supportive and non exploitative relationships with the interviewer team.
本文探讨了围绕使用特权访问访谈团队来生成吸毒者网络样本所涉及的方法学问题。传统上，网络样本往往被定性研究人员所使用。特权访问访谈为将结构化工具应用于网络抽样模型提供了一种机制。通过这样做，该领域中结构化方法的一些有问题的问题得以克服、减少或标准化。本文根据是否符合药物转变研究的方法学要求对该方法的使用进行了评估。讨论了我们团队使用特权访问访谈团队对400多名海洛因使用者进行访谈的实践经验，其中许多使用者未接受治疗服务。这种方法最适合通过使用结构化工具从不同的吸毒者网络中快速收集数据。成功可能取决于精心实施。持续监测数据质量尤为重要，良好的管理实践以及与访谈团队建立支持性和非剥削性的关系也同样重要。
