The representativeness of the selected regular attenders will be compared to the overall sample of regular attenders in the practices and the overall patient lists in terms of age and gender among those aged 18 years or over.
The sample consisted of 90 patients, 53 individually interviewed (55% of the overall sample of patients interviewed individually for the original studies conducted as part of the HANDOVER Project) and 37 interviewed in focus groups (100% of the overall sample of patients interviewed in groups).
The breakdown of the overall sample of 3,285 children is given in table 1, and the periods of coverage for each parish are shown in figure 1.
Secondly the criticism that the vancomycin patients included in the matched comparison were not representative of the overall sample of vancomycin patients is unfounded.
The study population consisted of 572 (30% of the overall sample of 1,945) women who presented for prenatal care in Norway and Sweden between 1986 and 1988.
Of the overall sample of 32 participants, 23 were male and 9 female (a bias which is close to the national average for doctors).
In conducting the prediction analysis, the overall sample of patients with no missing values was later randomly divided into two equal-sized subsamples [ 47].
Inter-individual variation in behaviour (Fig. 1) magnified the variation in the overall sample of escape responses pooled across individuals (Fig. 2).
We sort these combinations on the basis of their incidence in the overall sample of firms.
