Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The sampling method described in the question is chain referral sampling, where respondents are asked to refer others like themselves to participate in the survey. This method can be useful for reaching hard-to-reach populations, but it can also introduce biases if respondents only refer others with similar characteristics or if the network is not diverse.
