It really depends on your research topic and perhaps the resources (e.g. time, budget etc.) that you have.

Yes, you are right. Would you recommend I include parents as well in a study for children?

But of course, you must get parental/ guardian’s consent if you are doing a study for children. You may also need to go through specific ethics approval procedures for studies involving children at your organization.

Depends on the project objectives, think about the purpose of engaging parents as well.

Hi, everyone. I get a question! Different stakeholders may have different expectations for the program evaluation. May I ask how evaluators could deal with such contradictory expectations?

Hello. May I ask a question about how to choose the model for program evaluation? Sometimes I find that it is not enough to adopt only one model. Can I use different models in a program evaluation at the same time?

Hi, we are invited to develop an evaluation program on IFSCs. May I ask why we need to clarify the meaning of evaluation to the program personnel? I thought it was common sense.

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?

I have designed a large-scale survey about the life satisfaction of low-income families in Hong Kong. Is it appropriate to use the electronic survey through mobile phones?
