Evidence-Based Practice / Unit 7 EBP 0932 short lesson, about 20 seconds
How Participants Were Chosen
Captions available
The idea
Appraisal asks how the study's participants were chosen, and whether the sample's composition and size reflect what the study needed.
In practice
Participants selected because they had lived the experience being studied.
Where people slip
Qualitative sampling is purposive by design. Judging it against representativeness applies a criterion from a different kind of study.
