NBDHE-Community Health portion ~ 24 questions
- Random sample: This type of sample selection method reduces the chance of bias the most by
ensuring that each member of the population has an equal chance of being selected.
- Systematic sample: In this method, every 'nth' person is selected from a population after an initial
random start. For example, every 5th person in a line is chosen.
- Stratified sample: This sample involves dividing the population into subgroups based on certain
characteristics and then selecting samples from each subgroup. It helps reduce sample fluctuations by
ensuring representation from each subgroup.
- Judgement sample: This type of sample is chosen by an individual who has knowledge of the
population, introducing bias because the selection may be based on personal judgment or preferences
rather than randomization.
