The Sampling Design
The article describes about cross-sectional national telephone survey to gather data. The approach includes complex and multi-stage sampling design to achieve representative sample. Stratification is used as sampling design where population of US are likely divided into subgroups based on factors like geographic region, urbanicity and socioeconomic status. The stratification ensures that children from diverse backgrounds are included in final sample. Primary Sampling Units like counties and metropolitan statistical areas have been chosen randomly (Finkelhor et al. 2013). This ensures representation from various geographic areas in each stratum. Secondary Sampling units is smaller units like households in the chosen PSUs. The process helps to select representative sample of households from each geographic area. Respondent selection in the sampled households includes eligible children that were probably chosen using random digit dialling and other techniques. This ensures that all children in household have equal chance of being selected for reducing bias towards specific age groups in the household.
