One of the common problems with cross-sectional surveys is that they are prone to selection bias.

If the recruited sample is not representative of the target population, it can limit the extent to which study findings can be generalised to the target population.

Selection bias can be minimized by employing an effective sampling strategy.

By using a means of participant recruitment which does not systematically exclude portions of the target population, it can be possible to recruit a representative sample.
