2. SAMPLE SIZE AND SELECTION. Quantitative research usually aims to provide precise, unbiased estimates of parameters of interest for the entire population which requires a large, randomly selected sample. Brett et al 4 reported a positive impact of PPI on recruitment in studies, but the representativeness of the sample is as important in quantitative research as sample size.
