Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Bias may be introduced by selecting individuals from a specific socioeconomic status, as this may not be representative of the larger population of people recently paroled from prison who abuse drugs. It is important to have a diverse sample that represents the general population of parolees. The other options (A, C, and D) do not necessarily introduce bias into the study.
