Text

For some programs there will be large numbers of program participants, but the entire population of participants will be known only gradually over time as program implementation proceeds. For this case, it appears appropriate to use a systematic sampling approach to select sample sites as program implementation proceeds. That is, an overall sample size is determined but this sample is selected periodically as participants come into the program. Sample selection is thus spread over the entire implementation period.
