Population-Based Prevention of Child Maltreatment: The U.S. Triple P System Population Trial (2009, background): “among adults living in poverty or near poverty and produced substantial coverage bias (Blumberg and Luke 2007).”

Conducting Clinical Research Using Crowdsourced Convenience Samples. (2016, background): “…samples (Weinberg et al. 2014), telephone samples (Simons & Chabris, 2012), and face-to-face interviews (Berinsky et al. 2012), which suggests that MTurk is good at reaching populations that are typically underrepresented through traditional recruitment techniques (see Blumberg & Luke 2007).”
