Comments on Boyle et al. Article Given the growing number of challenges undermining the RDD sampling methodology, it is important to conduct independent studies that can identify potential problems so that effective remedies can be devised by the research community. In that sense, we welcome this study that has aimed to quantify the coverage problems associated with RDD-based samples. However, results produced by this work are subject to one critical problem and an assortment of secondary issues. In that order, we start with the main problem and its implications.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
