3.3 Target Population

The target population in a study is the entire set of units for which the study data are to be used to make inferences (Cox, 2013). Defining the target population in any study is as important as identifying the study objectives. According to Gall et al. (2003), a target population provides a solid foundation and first step upon which to build the validity and reliability of the study. This population helps in determining whether sampled cases are eligible or ineligible for the study.
