Second, as this study was conducted through both convenience and snowball sampling methods in two Chinese major cities, the mixed sampling method may affect the representativeness and ability to generalise from the sample to the broader MSM population in China.
When it was announced that Angelou would read one of her poems at Clinton's inauguration, many in the popular press compared her role as inaugural poet with that of Frost's, especially what critic Zofia Burr called their "representativeness", or their ability to speak for and to the American people.
Since the targets here are represented by their reference ligands, the predictive ability relies on the representativeness and diversity of reference library.
A quantitative measurement is defined for assessing the quality of the image summary by investigating both its reconstruction ability and its representativeness of the original image set in large size.
However, in qualitative research the validity of the study does not rest on the researcher's ability to demonstrate representativeness with respect to the total population.
These issues are important in terms of the representativeness of the sample and ability to generalise from the findings and improving engagement and minimising attrition are important issues for further trials of such interventions.
First, only 3 viral isolates (1 from each animal species) were obtained and sequenced, which limits the ability to generalize the representativeness of SFTS viral diversity in these areas.
For the same reason we also do not have information about the kind of hospitalisation (full-time or part-time) of the clients that did not participate, which also limits our ability to estimate the representativeness of the three groups in our study.
Second, although chosen a priori based on WHO recommendations and priority areas for the health sector, we only assessed the quality of 10 indicators captured in the HMIS, limiting our ability to comment on representativeness of quality for the whole system.
Using the RE-AIM framework's two measures, reach and adoption, we gain important insights on the representativeness of the study, which may improve the ability of practitioners, workplaces and researchers to successfully plan and implement future workplace health promotion and work environment interventions.
