Sociocentric interventions may address these barriers, but it is unclear if respondent-driven sampling (RDS) can recruit existing BLC SGM friendship groups or if sociocentric HIV prevention interventions are feasible. Methods: Using an exploratory mixed-methods design (August\/2022-January\/2024, New York, NY), we recruited participants into a sociocentric RDS group (sRDS) or an individual-level peer referral (PR) group, with qualitative interviews drawn from quantitative participants. Results: We enrolled 29 participants in sRDS (seeds = 6) and 30 in PR; 18 completed qualitative interviews. Most were Black or Caribbean; half were US-born; over half were living with HIV. PR was viewed as feasible, while sRDS and sociocentric interventions were seen as inappropriate. Participants suggested social media and influencers for recruitment. Discussion: Sociocentric approaches may be less acceptable to BLC SGM; recruitment should account for intersectional identities and offer fair compensation. <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1521\/aeap.2025.37.4.288","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,9,3]],"date-time":"2025-09-03T14:52:56Z","timestamp":1756911176000},"page":"288-311","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["\u201cIt's Whack, It's Not Gonna Work\u201d: Feasibility of Sociocentric Network Recruitment for Interventions Among Black, Latine, and Caribbean Priority Populations in New York City"],"prefix":"10.1521","volume":"37","author":[{"given":"Cho-Hee","family":"Shrader","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Nursing, Rutgers University, Newark, New Jersey."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Courtney","family":"Robinson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Nursing and Health Innovation, Arizona State University, Phoenix, Arizona."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Motunrayo","family":"Hassan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Nursing, Rutgers University, Newark, New Jersey."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Brandon","family":"Brown","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Social Medicine, Population, and Public Health, University of California, Riverside, Riverside, California."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ji-Young","family":"Lee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mental Health Law and Policy, University of South Florida, Tampa, Florida."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Martez","family":"Smith","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychiatry, Columbia University, New York, New York."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Carl","family":"Latkin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Health, Behavior, and Society, John Hopkins University, Baltimore, Maryland."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"John A.","family":"Schneider","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Nursing, Rutgers University, Newark, New Jersey."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Danielle C.","family":"Ompad","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Nursing, Rutgers University, Newark, New Jersey."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Dustin T.","family":"Duncan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Nursing, Rutgers University, Newark, New Jersey."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"377","reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2196\/publichealth.4573"},{"key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s10461-015-1234-4"},{"key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.socscimed.2014.03.022"},{"key":"ref4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/jia2.25798"},{"key":"ref5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s11199-008-9400-z"},{"key":"ref6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2105\/AJPH.2012.300750"},{"key":"ref7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s11199-012-0152-4"},{"key":"ref8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S2352-3018(16)30150-3"},{"key":"ref9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/eahr.404002"},{"key":"ref10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/sim.4780141709"},{"key":"ref11","first-page":"659663","volume-title":"Social stratification: Class, race, and gender in sociological perspective","author":"Burt R.
