Determine sample size for unknown population?

Hi everyone! Is there any standard/common formula for determining sample size for unknown population? We are developing a project targeted at disabled women with mental health in HONG KONG, but seems that the population data is not avalible. Thank you!

Just because the number of women, the number of people with disability, and the number of people with mental health problems are all large, the number of women with disability and mental health problems should also be large. So, a simple guess is just the multiplicative product of three proportions, say (.5)(.05)(.05) = .00125. If the overall adult population is 5 million, then the target population will be 6,250.

Hi, I realized that it seems the concept “outcome” is different from the term “output”. Taking the grandparent training project as an example, what is the “outcome’ referable?
