It is a complex form of cluster sampling, sometimes, also known as multistage cluster sampling. During this sampling method, significant clusters of the selected people are split into sub-groups at various stages to make it simpler for primary data collection.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What are the steps to conduct multistage sampling?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are four steps to conduct:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li><b>Step one:<\/b> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Choose a sampling frame, considering the population of interest. The researcher allocates a number to every group and selects a small sample of relevant separate groups.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><b>Step two:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Select a sampling frame of relevant separate sub-groups.

It decreases the issues faced during random sampling.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It does not need a complete list of all the members of the target population, dramatically reducing sample preparation cost.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What are the types of multistage sampling?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are two types of multistage sampling \u2013 multistage cluster sampling and multistage random sampling. In market research, i<\/span>t is the choosing of samples at stages and <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">smaller sampling units at every step. Let\u2019s take a look at these two approaches in detail.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Multistage cluster sampling<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Multistage cluster sampling is a complex type of cluster sampling. The researcher divides the population into groups at various stages for better data collection, management, and interpretation. These groups are called clusters.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, a researcher wants to know the different eating habits in western Europe. It is practically impossible to collect data from every household. The researcher will first choose the countries of interest. From these countries, he\/she chooses the regions or states to survey. And from these regions, he\/she further narrows down his research by choosing specific cities and towns that represent the region. The researcher does not interview all the residents of the city or town. He\/she further chooses particular respondents from the selected cities to participate in research. Here we see that clusters are selected at various stages until the researcher narrows down to the sample required.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Multistage random sampling<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The concept of multistage random sampling technique is similar to multistage cluster sampling. But in this case, the researcher chooses the samples randomly at each stage. Here, the researcher does not create clusters, but he\/she narrows down the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.questionpro.com\/blog\/convenience-sampling\/\">convenience sample<\/a> by applying random sampling.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, a researcher wants to understand pet feeding habits among people living in the USA. For this, he\/she requires a sample size of 200 respondents. The researcher selects 10 states out of 50 at random. Further, he\/she randomly picks out 5 districts per state. From these 50 randomly selected states, he\/she then chooses 4 pet-owning households to conduct his research.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>LEARN MORE:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.questionpro.com\/blog\/population-vs-sample\/\">Population vs Sample<\/a> &amp; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.questionpro.com\/blog\/purposive-sampling\/\">Purposive Sampling<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><br>Multistage sampling example:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here\u2019s an example of a multistage design.

The research goal is to assess the online spending trends of people in the US through an online questionnaire. Researchers can form their sample group comprising 200 households in the following manner:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Firstly, choose the number of states using simple random sampling (or any other probability sampling). For example, select ten states.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Secondly, choose five districts within each state using the systematic sampling method (or any other probability sampling).<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thirdly, choose four households from each district using the systematic sampling or simple random sampling method. You will end up with 200 houses that you can include in the sample group for research.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>LEARN ABOUT:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.questionpro.com\/blog\/survey-sampling\/\">Survey Sampling<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><br>Tips for efficient multistage sampling:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here are some tips to keep in mind when conducting multistage sampling research.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Think cautiously \u2013 It\u2019s good practice to brainstorm about a way to implement the multistage approach.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Keep in mind that as there\u2019s no exact definition of multiphase sampling, there\u2019s no conventional method on a route to mix the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.questionpro.com\/blog\/types-of-sampling-for-social-research\/\">sampling methods<\/a> (such as cluster, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.questionpro.com\/blog\/stratified-random-sampling\/\">stratified random sampling<\/a>, and simple random).<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The process design must be in a way that is both cost-effective and time-effective.&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Retaining its randomness and its sample size is a must.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Consult an experienced and skilled expert when you apply this method for the first time.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><a class=\"square-cta secondary-lined-cta\" href=\"https:\/\/www.questionpro.com\/a\/showEntry.do?mode=audience&amp;sourceRef=blog-audience\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Select your respondents<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Multistage sampling made easy with QuestionPro Audience<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With QuestionPro <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.questionpro.com\/audience\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Audience<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, get guidance on your multistage sampling design and direct access to our pool of 22 million+ research samples.
