Using random telephone sampling to recruit generalizable samples for family violence studies.
TL;DR: Random digit dialing (RDD) is used to determine whether it could feasibly recruit generalizable samples for 2 studies (a parenting study and an intimate partner violence study), suggesting that RDD may be a feasible, effective method by which to recruit more generalizableamples for in-laboratory studies of family violence when those studies have sufficient resources.

Abstract: Convenience sampling methods predominate in recruiting for laboratory-based studies within clinical and family psychology. The authors used random digit dialing (RDD) to determine whether they could feasibly recruit generalizable samples for 2 studies (a parenting study and an intimate partner violence study). RDD screen response rate was 42-45%; demographics matched those in the 2000 U.S. Census, with small- to medium-sized differences on race, age, and income variables. RDD respondents who qualified for, but did not participate in, the laboratory study of parents showed small differences on income, couple conflicts, and corporal punishment. Time and cost are detailed, suggesting that RDD may be a feasible, effective method by which to recruit more generalizable samples for in-laboratory studies of family violence when those studies have sufficient resources.
