What type of sampling is the study below. Provide an analysis and the advantages and disadvantages of this approach:
Six hundred and sixty-two divorced individuals from Germany, Italy, and
Switzerland participated in this study, including 282 German subjects
(228 women and 54 men), 141 Italian subjects (85 women and 56 men), and
239 Swiss subjects (81 women and 158 men). All participants selected for
analysis had at least one child, so all participants experienced this
particular stress. Participants in Germany and Italy were recruited via
newspaper advertisements (in Milan and Berlin), while participants in
Switzerland were recruited nationwide via newspapers and an internet
site. (Use of the Internet to recruit Swiss participants probably
accounts for the higher proportion of men in this subgroup.) There were
no differences between subjects responding via mailed questionnaires
versus the Internet.
