¶ … Decision-Making by Caregivers of Family Members with Heart Failure
Describe the population for this study.
The population for this study consisted of people who are family members of those with cardiovascular issues who may develop heart failure or who are currently living with heart failure. The intention was to find out how prepared family members were to deal with worst-case scenarios regarding the patient's care.

The sample selected for the study was comprised of individuals whose family members have heart failure. The strength of this sampling strategy will be that only impacted people are involved, but the weakness is that these are individuals already aware of their family member's situation and the possibility that they will have to deal with the realities of taking care of their loved one.
Were the subjects in this study vulnerable? Were there any risks for them as the result of participation in the research study?
