Time-space sampling (TSS) offers a reproducible method for creating scientifically sound samples of hidden populations. This venue-based approach improves data collection for hard-to-reach groups like young men who have sex with men.

Area of Science:

  • Social Sciences
  • Public Health
  • Epidemiology

Background:

  • Sampling hard-to-reach populations presents significant methodological challenges.
  • Traditional methods often result in low response rates or introduce unknown biases.
  • There is a need for robust sampling techniques to ensure representativeness.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce and evaluate a venue-based time-space sampling (TSS) method.
  • To address the difficulties in obtaining scientifically sound samples of hidden populations.
  • To demonstrate the applicability of TSS in public health research.

Main Methods:

  • Developed a venue-based time-space sampling (TSS) framework.
  • Identified population gathering times and venues to create sampling units (VDTs).

Related Experiment Videos

  • Randomly selected VDTs and systematically intercepted consenting individuals for data collection.

    • Main Results:

    • Successfully generated a systematic sample of young men who have sex with men for the CITY project.
    • Demonstrated that TSS allows for statistical inference to the population of venue visitors.
    • Provided a framework for theorizing potential biases and limitations in generalization.

    Conclusions:

    • Venue-based time-space sampling (TSS) is a reproducible and adaptable method for sampling hidden populations.
    • TSS enhances the ability to construct samples with known properties for research.
    • The method has broad applicability across diverse populations and settings.
