Convenience Sampling and Reach

The idea

When participants are drawn from those the researchers could easily contact, the sample may differ from the population the question is about.

In practice

Participants recruited from one hospital and findings applied everywhere.

Where people slip

The reference population, the study population and the participants are three different groups, and findings describe the last of them first.
