Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Gaining access through sponsors is the most ethical and effective way to reach underground or illicit populations. Sponsors act as a trusted intermediary and can vouch for the researcher's intentions, which can help to build rapport and trust with the community. Using coercion or relying on luck could lead to unethically obtained data or unreliable results.
