To minimize errors in random sampling, epidemiologists can take several steps:
Increase Sample Size: A larger sample size can reduce the impact of random errors and improve the reliability of the results. Ensure Proper Randomization: Use reliable methods and technologies to ensure that the selection process is genuinely random. Address Non-Response: Implement strategies to encourage participation and account for non-responders in the analysis. Use Stratified Sampling: When dealing with heterogeneous populations, stratified sampling can ensure better representation of different subgroups.
