Background: A sampling frame is a list of units of analysis from which you’ll take the sample and to which you’ll generalize. Popular sampling frames include telephone directories (though this has become more difficult in the era of mobile phones), tax rolls, or even a community census you produce yourself (which is especially helpful in areas in which the total population is not too large but lacks a readily available sampling frame).

This activity will help you select a sampling frame and identify participants you may be excluding as a result (i.e., identify the sampling frame’s limitations).
