mowlloRestate your research questions. Then, based on the design of your study up to this point, describe the target (theoretical) population (seehttp://www.socialresearchmethods.net/kb/sampterm.php).
Next, identify your sampling frame (the accessible population from whom you will draw your sample). Last, explain the sampling strategy that is most appropriate to your study, including the characteristics of your participants and any inclusion or exclusion criteria.
