· Stratifies sampling. Clustered sampling procedure. It is also randomized, but you choose the groups that you want to be randomized from. Useful when you want to define the location or demographic you want to study. Might result in over representation of one cluster over another.

· Snow ball sampling. Used when people are hard to access. You ask the first group of people you interview if they know anyone in the same situation. Might result in a biased sample.
