本章主张使用创造性和有针对性的战略，而不是一刀切的方法来获取低发病率人群的信息。它首先将低发病率人群概念化，并强调了现有的经验文献，然后概述了抽样，接触和分析策略，对这些人群进行民意调查的挑战。它强调了每种方法的内在权衡，并指出了在确定哪种策略最适合特定研究问题时需要考虑的因素。然后，它详细介绍了旨在捕捉美国穆斯林，亚裔美国人和非民选政治活动家的态度和行为的民意调查工作。本章最后讨论了对低发病率美国人口进行研究的富有成效的民意调查实践，认为对这些人口进行民意调查的方法必须同样了解目标群体的独特特征和分析结论。
This chapter argues for the use of creative and targeted strategies rather than a one-size-fits-all approach to capturing information on low-incidence populations. It first conceptualizes low-incidence populations and highlights the existing empirical literature on them and then frames the challenges of polling these populations with an overview of sampling, contacting, and analytical strategies. It highlights the inherent trade-offs of each approach and points to the factors to consider when determining which strategy is best suited to particular research questions. It then details polling efforts designed to capture attitudes and behaviors of American Muslims, Asian Americans, and non-elected political activists. The chapter concludes with a discussion of fruitful polling practices for conducting research on low-incidence U.S. populations, arguing that the approach to polling these populations must be equally informed by the unique characteristics of the target group and the analytical conclusions one seeks to draw.
