Jargon Buster! Sample

💡 RECAP Jargon Buster!
Ever heard the word “Sample” in research and thought… 🤔 what does that mean?

A sample is just a smaller group of people that researchers study to understand the bigger group. Instead of asking everyone, they ask a few – and use those answers to learn about the whole picture.

✨ Example:
👩‍👩‍👧 Instead of asking every parent in the country, researchers might ask 100 parents and use their answers to get a clear idea of what families are experiencing.

We’re breaking down tricky research terms so parents and families can access and use research too – because evidence should never be hidden behind jargon.
