Stratified random sampling is the most beneficial method for ensuring equal representation of each age group in a study comparing different age groups' health-related behaviors. This method involves dividing the population into distinct subgroups (strata) based on a specific characteristic, such as age, and then randomly selecting samples from each subgroup. This ensures that each age group is adequately represented in the sample.
