抽样一直是对女同性恋、男同性恋和双性恋（LGB）人群进行研究的最具影响力的组成部分。糟糕的抽样设计可能会导致有偏见的结果，误导其他研究人员，政策制定者和从业者。因此，希望研究LGB人群的调查人员必须投入大量的精力和资源来选择抽样方法和执行抽样计划。作者描述了LGB人群中使用的概率和非概率抽样方法，并批判性地讨论了他们评论的抽样方法的优点和缺点。作者的结论是，没有单一的抽样方法是正确的或不正确的使用在LGB人群;相反，研究人员必须评估的优势和劣势，在特定的研究问题和研究设计的背景下，每种抽样方法。
Sampling has been the single most influential component of conducting research with lesbian, gay, and bisexual (LGB) populations. Poor sampling designs can result in biased results that will mislead other researchers, policymakers, and practitioners. Investigators wishing to study LGB populations must therefore devote significant energy and resources to choosing a sampling approach and executing the sampling plan. The authors describe probability and nonprobability sampling methods used in LGB populations and critically discuss the advantages and disadvantages of the sampling methods they review. The authors conclude that no single sampling methodology is correct or incorrect for use in LGB populations; rather, researchers must evaluate advantages and disadvantages of each sampling methodology in the context of the specific research question and the research design.
