While snowball recruitment may be advantageous in some research designs, it is important to assess the following: Whether the potential for bias from the snowball method would impact on the research outcomes. Is there the potential for any real or perceived coercion to be applied in the recruitment process? The possibility for a breach of privacy for a nominated individual. Snowball recruitment – in either the passive or active form – is acceptable as long there is no real or perceived coercion to take part in the research by either the researchers or other participants, and as long as there is no breach of Commonwealth, State or Territory privacy legislation involved in accessing contact details for potential participants.
