  1. SAMPLE DESIGN: WHO WILL BE IN THE SAMPLE ? (CONTINUED) Lu Ann Aday, Ph.D. The University of Texas School of Public Health

  2. COMBINED DESIGNS A. Area probability sample design (example: PPS) B. Random digit dialing (RDD) C. List sample

  3. PROBABILITY PROPORTIONATE TO SIZE (PPS) – EXAMPLE (Aday & Cornelius, 2006, Table 6.2)

  4. RANDOM DIGIT DIALING: WAKSBERG-MITOFSKY DESIGN Target population: residents of the State of California STAGE 1 1. Implement random or systematic selection of area code-central office code combinations for area: (xxx) xxx. 2. Add two random digits to each area code-central office code combination. 3. Prepare list of possible 8 digit numbers, which become PSUs with clusters of 100 numbers each: (xxx) xxx-xx00 thru xx99. 4. Assign last two digits of the number randomly, such as (xxx) xxx-xx24. 5. Dial the resulting number. 6a. Eligible household number—complete the interview. Retain PSU of 100 numbers. 6b. Ineligible household number—terminate the interview. Eliminate the PSU of 100 numbers from further calls.

  5. RANDOM DIGIT DIALING: WAKSBERG-MITOFSKY DESIGN (cont.) Target population: residents of the State of California STAGE 2 7. Randomly assign two new digits to end of cluster of numbers for same or new PSU (as appropriate). 8. Repeat process until desired sample size is reached.

  6. LIST SAMPLE Target population: U.S. dentists in active practice STAGE 1: Identify eligible dentists. STAGE 2: 1. Determine sampling fraction. 2. Draw systematic random sample of eligible dentists.

  7. SAMPLING RARE POPULATIONS • Screening- Ask respondents whether they/household have the attribute of interest and drop those from sample that do not. • Disproportionate sampling- Assign a higher sampling fraction to stratum that has attribute of interest. • Network sampling- Ask the respondents if they know others in family network (defined in certain way) who have attribute of interest. • Dual frame sampling- Use a second sampling frame containing elements with attribute of interest to supplement original frame.

  8. PROCEDURES FOR SELECTING THE RESPONDENT: SELECTION TABLES • Kish tables- Ask about all potentially eligible individuals in the household, list them and then use Kish tables. • Troldahl-Carter-Bryant (TCB)- Ask how many persons live in the household, how many of them are women, and then use TCB selection charts.

  9. PROCEDURES FOR SELECTING THE RESPONDENT: RESPONDENT CHARACTERISTICS • Hagan and Collier Method- Ask to speak with one of four types of age-sex individuals and if no one of that gender, ask for counterpart of opposite gender (youngest adult male/youngest adult female/oldest adult male/oldest adult female). • Last/Next Birthday Method- Ask to speak with the person who had a birthday last or who will have one next.
