  		Fig. 1. —Graphic shows relationships among target population, study population, and sample. Conventional science distinguishes three groups of individuals. Target population is population of ultimate clinical interest. But, because of practicalities, entire target population often cannot be studied. Study population is subset of target population that can be studied. Samples are subsets of study populations used in clinical research because often not every member of study population can be measured.
