Welcome to the KOLaide package! The KOLaide
package assists researchers in choosing Key Opinion Leaders (KOLs) in a
network to help disseminate or encourage adoption of an innovation by
other network members. Potential KOL teams are evaluated using the ABCDE
framework, which considers: (1) the team members’ Availability, (2) the
Breadth of the team’s network coverage, (3) the Cost of recruiting a
team of a given size, and (4) the Diversity of the team’s members, (5)
which are pooled into a single Evaluation score.
