Probability Sampling - A Guideline for Quantitative Health Care Research

This essay discusses factors considered by researchers when developing a sampling plan including the frame, sampling unit, sample size, target population, precision, and stratification. The sampling methods of probability, both simple and systematic were also defined and compared on their utility fo...
