Rationale 1: This statement describes a target population. For this example, an accessible population would be "All children enrolled in first grade and taught by Mrs. Mary Kay Jones in Connersville, IN.".
Rationale 2: This statement describes a target population. For this example, an accessible population would be "All clients undergoing laparoscopy at Community Memorial Hospital during January 2010.".
Rationale 3: This statement describes a target population. For this example, an accessible population would be "All adults with open-angle glaucoma treated by Dr. James Drew, Sacramento, CA.".
Rationale 4: The target population is composed of the entire group of people to which the researcher wishes to generalize the findings of the study. The accessible population or study population is the portion of that group actually studied. In this case, the researcher has studied the accessible population of adolescents studying biology at the local high school, rather than all adolescents studying biology in the United States.
