Sampling

Sampling procedure
The survey was conducted with a self-selected, nonprobability sample. LGBTI people are a hard-to-reach population with at least two characteristics that make standard random sampling procedures inappropriate: the absence of a sampling frame (i.e., the characteristics of the total population are unknown) and the strong need for privacy protection. As a result, it cannot be said that respondents to the survey represent the LGBTI population as a whole. To address this concern, at least in part, the sample was weighted based on a study of the literature.
Weighting
Representative surveys of LGBTI populations are difficult to conduct and online surveys are considered an appropriate method. LGBTI people are a hard-to-reach population due to at least two characteristics that make standard random sampling procedures inappropriate: the absence of a sampling frame (i.e., the characteristics of the total population are unknown) and the strong requirement for privacy protection given the stigma and risk of violence LGBTI people often face. This survey was conducted with a self-selected, nonprobability sample. As a result, it cannot be said that respondents represent the whole LGBTI population in Serbia. To address this concern, at least in part, the sample was weighted based on a study of the literature. Weighting sample characteristics to population targets to correct for over- and/or under-sampled groups can be effective in providing generalizable results, though the process is sensitive to the weighting strategy. Due to the lack of administrative data on LGBTI populations, the weighting strategy took into account only sex assigned at birth and sexual orientation.
