Describes a method for designing a sample of Air Force personnel to participate in an online survey of cultural attitudes. The design needed to minimize the number of people asked to participate but had to be representative of a number of minorities and to sample enough people to allow for statistically meaningful comparisons. Joint samples were designed for both this survey and a health survey administered during the same time.
