The book fulfills the authors' purpose of providing needed expertise for statisticians who are limited in their knowledge of survey research. There are excellent questions at the end of each chapter so it would make a good textbook for a course in survey analysis. (Journal of Official Statistics, Vol. 16, 2000)

A strength of this book is the exercises at the ends of each chapter [...]. This makes the book ideal either for independent study or for a survey methods course at final year undergraduate or postgraduate level. Since the book is based on the two authors' many years of experience working in this field, it shows high levels of sound judgement and good advice. (Biometrics, 2000)

The analytic components of books about survey sampling often restrict their discussion to the analysis of relatively simple parameters of interest, such as population means and linear regression slopes. On the other hand, texts not devoted to survey sampling rarely discuss in detail the effect of complex sample designs on data analysis. This book provides a great service to the health research community by tying together the tools of modern statistical analysis and survey research in one package. Korn and Graubard write clearly and concisely, using well-chosen examples to illuminate potentially confusing concepts. (JASA, March 2001)

If you are involved in analyzing data from very large surveys, then you will want to buy this book. Statisticians who enjoy expanding their horizons in statistics by reading practical and useful statistics books should also get a copy of the book. More and more of this health-survey data becomes available all the time, so perhaps data analysis no longer needed in industry can find a new home somewhere analyzing health-survey data.
