必须经常将家庭的概率抽样转化为代表成人人口特征的人员抽样。研究人员已经开发了至少14个家庭内受访者选择程序或其变体来完成这项任务。虽然概率方法更可取，但它们经常增加无响应。虽然准概率和非概率技术牺牲了随机性的优势，但它们已经被设计出来以增加合作和降低成本。本文的目的是分析16项研究的结果，这些研究比较了家庭内受访者选择程序在人口代表性、合作或应答率和成本方面的差异。虽然随着答复率的下降，越来越需要在保持质量和准确性的同时压低成本，但几乎没有系统的、可获得的证据来指导受访者选择方法。
A probability sample of households frequently must be translated into a sample of persons representing characteristics of the adult population. Researchers have developed at least 14 within-household respondent selection procedures or their variants to accomplish this task. Although probability methods are preferable, they often increase nonresponse. Quasi-probability and nonprobability techniques have been devised to increase cooperation and decrease costs, although they sacrifice the advantages of randomness. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the results of 16 studies that have compared within-household respondent selection procedures, with respect to demographic representativeness, cooperation or response rates, and costs. Although there is an increasing need to hold down costs yet maintain quality and accuracy as response rates are falling, little systematic, accessible evidence exists to guide choice of respondent selection method.
