1. Standard random clusters (SRCs) rely on knowledge of the distribution or proportion of population characteristics to choose a sample that assures representativeness of these characteristics. 2. Proportionate stratified sampling involves oversampling—taking a larger-than-proportionate number of certain groups to assure the appearance of a sufficient number of cases for comparative purposes of a group that is small in the population. 3. Disproportionate stratified samples have subjects which are chosen in roughly the same ratio as exists in the population. 4. Cluster sampling is generally used in surveys that involve field interviews and is most useful in studies that involve widely dispersed subjects. 5. Multistage sampling involves combinations of stratified, cluster, simple random samples, and/or other sampling procedures.
