Appraise and debate the sampling methods and determine the quality of the sampling procedures in reducing bias. Consider the following questions:
• Was the sampling method and inclusion/exclusion criteria adequate to reduce sampling bias?
• Are the sample characteristics representative of the target population?
• Was the sample size adequate?
• Was there a decrease in sample size? If so, did the researchers identify decreases early and attempt to reduce the impact? Was a decrease, if any, adequately explained by the researchers?
The response should include a reference list. Using double-space, Times New Roman 12 pnt font, one-inch margins, and APA style of writing and citations.
