Deviant case sampling involves intentionally seeking out individuals who are extreme on a range of factors in order to gain a deeper understanding of the phenomenon being studied. In this case, seeking out clients who have had their medication changed 8 or more times would provide valuable insight into the implementation of the medication algorithm program. Convenience sampling involves selecting participants who are easily accessible, typical case sampling involves selecting participants who represent the average or typical experience, and purposeful sampling involves selecting participants based on specific criteria deemed relevant to the study. None of these other sampling methods would be as relevant to the goal of studying the experiences of clients who have undergone multiple medication changes.
