Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Stratified sampling requires a clear understanding of the population being sampled and the ability to identify subgroups within that population. This may not be feasible in field research where the population is not well-defined or easily identifiable. Snowball, purposive, and probability sampling may be more appropriate for field research as they do not rely on a pre-existing population list or subgroup identification.
