The Next-Birthday Method of Respondent Selection

Abstract

Four procedures for selecting telephone survey respondents within a household unit—Troldahl-Carter, male/female alternation, next-birthday, and no-selection methods—were compared in a small-sample survey. The data indicate that the next birthday method is a relatively efficient procedure for selecting a sample that is representative of all household members.
