The type of sampling design that was most likely used for the data that were collected is a convenience sample. This is because the data was collected from individuals who were readily available and willing to participate in the study, but may not be representative of the population as a whole.

Convenience samples are often used when researchers do not have access to a random sample or if they need an immediate response from participants and cannot wait for a fully representative sample to be selected.
