description Non-probability sampling methods utilize nonrandom research participant selection, which may generate study samples that are not representative of the general population. Non-probability sample studies are often regarded as inferior due to uncertainty about their generalizability and external validity. In reality, non-probability sampling offers advantages that make this method particularly valuable for minority health research. In this perspective article, we review the strengths and limitations of probability and non-probability samples, examining three landmark survey studies used to study transgender and gender diverse mental health. We conclude that both types of studies provide important and actionable data about mental health inequities experienced by minority populations.
