Abstract
The sampling of general populations of individuals or households for survey research
is well described. However, much of the focus of pediatric nursing research is on
special or rare populations. This article presents techniques that may be used to
locate rare populations for pediatric nursing research. Additionally, development
and analysis of one technique used to locate a sample frame for a survey of time use
of chronically ill school-age children is discussed.
