 I am interested in papers or texts which provide a basis for
            evaluating sampling frames.  I have looked at texts on sampling,
            such as Kish,  but find that virtually all social science
            texts treat the sampling frame's quality as a given.

            We know for example that a special effort was put forth in
            the last Census of Population to better enumerate the
            homeless (one of the field tests was done here in St. Louis),
            but finding works that discuss how we can evaluate the
            census or other enumeration seem few and far between.

            Paul Reynolds at Marquette referred me to an article by Seymour
            Sudman in Science,  "Sampling rare and elusive populations"
            (1988, v240, pp 991-996).

            I'd appreciate any other suggestions.


Regards,

Jerry
