Sampling Methods: Sample Types

3.2K
Sampling materials are classified into three main types: solid, liquid, and gas.
Solid samples include a variety of substances, such as sediments from water bodies, soil, metals, and biological tissues. Two standard methods for extracting sediments from water bodies are grab sampling and piston coring. Grab sampling involves using a device to collect a discrete sediment sample from the bottom of a water body with minimal disturbance. Grab samples do not always represent the entire area due to...

Sampling is a technique to select a portion (or subset) of the larger population and study that portion (the sample) to gain information about the population. Data are the result of sampling from a population. The sampling method ensures that samples are drawn without bias and accurately represent the population.
Convenience sampling is a non-random method of sample selection; this method selects individuals that are easily accessible and may result in biased data. For example, a marketing...

Sampling Methods: Overview

3.4K
A sample refers to a smaller subset representative of a larger population. In analytical chemistry, studying or analyzing an entire population is often impractical or impossible. Therefore, samples are used to draw inferences and generalize the whole population. The sampling method selects individuals or items from a population to create a sample. Standard sampling methods include random, judgemental, systematic, stratified, and cluster sampling. 
In analytical chemistry, the choice of...

Sampling is a technique to select a portion (or subset) of the larger population and study that portion (the sample) to gain information about the population. Data are the result of sampling from a population. The sampling method ensures that samples are drawn without bias and accurately represent the population. Because measuring the entire population in a study is not practical, researchers use samples to represent the population of interest.

Sampling is a technique to select a portion (or subset) of the larger population and study that portion (the sample) to gain information about the population. The sampling method ensures that samples are drawn without bias and accurately represent the population. Because measuring the entire population in a study is not practical, researchers use samples to represent the population of interest.
To choose a stratified sample, divide the population into groups called strata and then take a...

Cluster Sampling Method

Appropriate sampling methods ensure that samples are drawn without bias and accurately represent the population. Because measuring the entire population in a study is not practical, researchers use samples to represent the population of interest.
To choose a cluster sample, divide the population into clusters (groups) and then randomly select some of the clusters. All the members from these clusters are in the cluster sample. For example, if you randomly sample four departments from your...

Summary

Syrian refugee women in Tehran utilized antenatal care services less than recommended by WHO and Iranian guidelines. However, their utilization rates were higher than in other refugee destinations, reflecting cultural practices.

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Sociology
  • Reproductive Health

Background:

  • Syrian refugees face unique challenges in accessing healthcare, particularly in host countries like Iran.
  • Understanding antenatal care (ANC) utilization is crucial for maternal and child health outcomes in displaced populations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the patterns and levels of antenatal care utilization among Syrian refugee women residing in Tehran.
  • To compare ANC utilization with national and international standards.

Main Methods:

  • A cross-sectional study conducted in Tehran in 2016.
  • Respondent-Driven Sampling (RDS) was employed to recruit 231 Syrian refugee women.
  • Data were collected through interviews administered by a Syrian general practitioner.

Main Results:

  • The average number of ANC visits was 3.73, with 56.7% of women attending at least four visits.
  • Higher ANC utilization was observed among women with more living children and those whose spouses had higher education levels.
  • ANC utilization did not meet Iranian national guidelines or WHO recommendations.

Conclusions:

  • Antenatal care utilization among Syrian refugees in Tehran falls short of established health guidelines.
  • Despite this, utilization is higher compared to other primary destinations for Syrian refugees.
  • Cultural factors appear to influence antenatal care seeking behaviors among this population.
