Assessing generalizability involves several steps:
1. Comparing Populations: Compare the study population with the target population to identify similarities and differences. 2. Reviewing Sampling Methods: Evaluate the sampling methods used to determine if the sample is representative of the target population. 3. Analyzing Study Design: Consider the study design and its potential biases that may affect generalizability. 4. Contextualizing Findings: Place the study findings within the context of existing research and consider their applicability to other settings and populations.
