Could you please give me some advice on our evaluation program on ISC? It is about the services for children of inmates? We have different opinions on the scales used to collect data from children. Some of us prefer the dichotomous scales. And they claim it is more appropriate. I want to know what your suggestion may be.

You may use the dichotomous scales for children. some researchers indeed suggest that this kind of scale is more appropriate for young children as they may primarily think dichotomously and be unable to answer the 5- and 7- point scales.

I intend to conduct a random sampling method survey on the service utilization of sheltered workshops for people with disabilities in Hong Kong. Is clustered random sampling the best approach?
