using these criteria:: was population identified, were sample procedures described? What type sampling plan as used? How were people recruited? Was there a power analysis? Was the sample size large enough? Did the paragraph below answer all the necessary questions in a correct and appropriate response form the article: The population included 201 participants aged 18 years and older with an elevated blood pressure showing systolic above 120 mmHg and diastolic above 80 mmHg were randomly assigned to two different groups: 101 in the MB-BP group and 100 in the control group. Majority of participants were female with 58.7%, 81.1% were non-Hispanic white with 51.7% had a college degree. The average age of participants were 59.5 years. The sampling plan was to recruit participants through clinician referrals and local community advertisements between June 2017 and November 2020, making this a convenience sampling. A power analysis was completed however, it was used from a prior research and statistical data, to assist in developing estimated sample size. This was a factor as a limitation within the study. A previous mindfulness-based program verified a between-group effect size of 0.63 on the MAIA scale with a standard deviation of 0.83. Using this, the power anaylsis estimated a conservative effect of 0.40 or 0.50 with a standard deviation (SD) of 0.83, an alpha level of 0.05 as two-tailed and a beta of 0.2 (80% power). These statistics indicated that 68 participants per
