In research studies, it is difficult to recruit a sample that is representative of family physician’s entire population. Some groups may be overrepresented while others are underrepresented. Therefore, some marginalized patient populations may be understudied because of socioeconomic status; race; ethnicity; age; sex; sexual orientation; gender identification; and physical, mental, or cognitive abilities. This can result in inadequate or insufficient data to derive either accurate or generalizable conclusions.
This checklist will reveal potential limitations of a research study. When reviewing articles, answering yes does not make the study inherently good and answering no does not make the study inherently bad, but rather reveals limitations.
