SUMMARY Completely general methods are developed to obtain the average sample size and the probability of accepting the hypothesis p = po for binomial probabilities in mnultiple stage sampling procedures. An example illustrating the use of a multiple-stage plan of this type for a drug screen is considered. Data on the actual performance of the screen is also given.
