Moreover, sampling con-sumes signifi cant time and resources. Since the early 1990s, risk factor surveys in Cienfuegos province, Cuba have paid particular attention to careful sampling methods. The new survey conduct-ed in 2011 was not only statistically rigorous but introduced an innovative, more effi cient method.
