Since the list of programs is available, a multistage cluster sampling design would be appropriate. This design involves randomly selecting a few cities from the list and then within each city, randomly selecting some domestic violence programs. Then, social workers from the selected programs would be invited to participate in the survey. This would be more cost-effective than visiting all the programs in the list and would provide a representative sample of social workers employed in domestic violence programs.
