I think I might not get the precise document, but the concept of stratified random sampling is well-known in epidemiology. I could consider a general paper or textbook, even if it’s not in the database. To meet the requirements, I should cite relevant content. The fourth ranked result talks about how dividing the study area into strata and selecting controls can improve balanced representation. That sounds like solid evidence. I’ll take a look at that text!
