研究目的--目的是（1）对亚洲少数民族的一个特定亚组进行抽样;（2）对集中地区以外的人给予适当的代表性;（3）评估该方法的成本和效益。设计-格拉斯哥邮政编码与不同浓度的亚洲人进行了抽样，173名30-40岁的亚洲人进行了采访后，家庭筛选的1439名亚洲人的名字确定的选民名册或估价名册。亚洲人很少的地区，以及有两个或两个以上30-40岁成员的家庭，抽样不足，然后重新加权。测量和主要结果-采取血压，肺功能和体重的护理措施，并报告了健康和社会背景的选择性访谈措施。集中地区和分散地区的亚洲人在血压、报告的健康状况和社会背景方面存在显着差异。由于抽样不足和重新加权而造成的有效样本量损失在地区抽样中为4-5%，在住户抽样中为13%。潜在样本成员通过注册的损失可能小于6%。结论----目前的抽样方法成功地以亚群体为目标，并改进了集中地区的抽样，因为它使分散的少数群体成员能够得到代表，他们在健康和社会地位的关键指数方面存在差异。该方法的成本是可以接受的。
STUDY OBJECTIVE--The aims were (1) to sample a specified subgroup of the Asian minority; (2) to give proper representation to those outside the areas of concentration; and (3) to evaluate the costs and benefits of the method. DESIGN--Glasgow postcodes with varying concentrations of Asians were sampled, and 173 Asians aged 30-40 were interviewed after household screening of 1439 Asian names identified on the electoral roll or valuation roll. Areas with few Asians, and households with two or more members aged 30-40, were undersampled, and then reweighted. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS--Nurse measures of blood pressure, lung function, and body mass were taken, and selected interview measures of health and social background are reported. Substantial differences in blood pressure, reported health, and social background were revealed between Asians in areas of concentration and those in areas of dispersion. Loss in effective sample size due to undersampling and reweighting was 4-5% in the case of the area sampling, 13% in the case of the household sampling. Losses of potential sample members through under registration were probably less than 6%. CONCLUSIONS--The present sampling method targets subgroups successfully, and improves on sampling in areas of concentration, in that it enables dispersed members of the minority, who differ in crucial indices of health and social position, to be represented. The costs of the method are acceptable.
