Snowball sampling is a non-probability sampling technique where initial respondents are selected using probability methods, and subsequent respondents are selected based on information provided by those initial respondents. This method is useful when the target population is difficult to locate or access, and relies on referrals from initial respondents to find additional participants. Stepwise sampling, judgment sampling, and secondary sampling are not applicable to this description of the sampling procedure.
