STATISTICS FOR PUBLIC HEALTH1Nowadays, a lot of developed health centres are developing in different localities. Thesehealth centres are developed in order to help the people around that community to get emergencyhealth services in the time of need without travelling large distances to attend hospitals. Every people in a community need medical attention. Among them, some prefer to visitthe local health centres and some others do not prefer visiting the health centres. To differentiatebetween these preferences, this telephonic survey has been conducted. One particular healthcentre will be chosen and the people residing the catchment of that health care centre will be thetargeted population. A sample of 50 people from that locality will be selected at random and theywill be called up and asked about opinions on their demographic profile as well as about theiropinions on the health care services provided by the centres (Kadilar & Cekim, 2017). There are certain advantages and disadvantages of selecting the participants using thismethod. Among the advantages of simple random sampling, this is one of the simplesttechniques of sampling. Sampling can be conducted with very little information about thepopulation. The samples collected using this technique are generally free from classificationerrors and bias. It can represent the whole population. The errors in sampling can also beassessed very easily (Rao, 2015). On the other hand, there are certain disadvantages to thistechnique as well. This technique will be successfully representing the whole population only ifthe population is not homogeneous and the units or the items of the study are not widely spread(Montgomery, 2017). Suppose, in this case, the whole community must have a similar type ofresponse so that selecting any person from the community will help to represent the wholepopulation. It is not possible in reality to have a population which is completely catalogued(Denscombe, 2014). Thus, the problem arises to apply simple random sampling. The questionnaire that is used to conduct the telephonic survey is attached below:
