- Sampling method: Systematic
- There is a system to selecting participants from a target population. For example, selecting every nth member of the target population.
- 1. A sampling frame is produced, which is a list of people in the target population, it is often arranged in alphabetical order.
- 2. Then every nth member of the target population is selected such as every 5th person on a register.
- STRENGTH
- Avoids researcher bias – once the system is selected, the researcher has no influence over who is chosen.
- WEAKNESS
- No guarantee that the sample will be representative
