Document Summary
Student gives a clear summary/overview of inclusion and exclusion criteria for participants with rationale. The study population must be identified with clear inclusion and exclusion criteria and the type of sampling that will be done. Intending to mimic the population will not be a factor, as this is not needed to prove validity (ranney et al. , 2015). An exact sample size will also not be determined ahead of time for a similar reason - however, there will be a point of saturation for the data (ranney et al. , 2015). Patients who were diagnosed with sle, 18-23 years old, followed by a pediatric rheumatologist prior to transition, less than 1 subsequent visit within their first visit, and first seen between 1992 and 2014 (son et al. , 2016). In canada, virtually all transfers occur at the age of 18 (cohen et al. , 2016). There is evidence of worse disease activity, physical and psychosocial functioning in adults with jrmds (clemente et al. , 2016)
