Abstract

In recent times, various methodological approaches and techniques are used in carrying out social science research, particularly in unlikely situations and among people in hard-to-reach places. This paper intends to explore new trend in research, statistical tools, its relative importance and usefulness for carrying out survey research in hard-to-reach places. It will also contrast and compare the effectiveness of methods used, and in addition, probabilistic and non-probabilistic sampling techniques needed for hard-to-reach places will be addressed. Thus, inferences will be drawn in order to proffer probable solutions for solving future methodological issues relating to social science-based research studies in hard-to-reach-places.
