Research question: Can the collaboration between healthcare and social workers collect data and help homeless parties with diabetes reduce the mortality and challenges of dealing with the condition among this cohort?

What type of sampling method is used? Is it appropriate to the design?
Does the sample reflect the population as identified in the problem or purpose statement?
Is the sample size appropriate? Why or why not?
To what population may the findings be generalized? What are the limitations in generalizability?
Research design
What type of design will be used?
Does the design seem to flow from the proposed research problem, theoretical framework, literature review, and hypothesis?
