In the design of experiments, consecutive sampling is a sampling technique in which every subject meeting the criteria of inclusion is selected until the required sample size is achieved.[1][2] Along with convenience sampling and snowball sampling, consecutive sampling is one of the most commonly used kinds of nonprobability sampling.[3] Consecutive sampling is typically better than convenience sampling in controlling sampling bias.[4]
