Exercise 3: Understanding the Sampling Section of a Research Report: Population,
Sampling Criteria, Sample Size, Refusal Rate, and Attrition Rate
1. Did the study include sampling inclusion criteria? What were those criteria? Were these
criteria appropriate for this study?
Yes
The criteria were children aged 3 to 5 years, mother had primary or regular visitation of child,
the dyad lived in state or were able to meet in state for the data collection, the mother
participated in the MTB program or the control condition beyond the initial consent period
Yes, the criteria is appropriate for the study.
2. Sampling inclusion and exclusion are developed to determine what type of population?
What is the accessible population? Document your answer.
Sampling inclusion and exclusion are developed to determine the target population.
Inclusion criteria are requirements that must be present for an element or participant to be
