Many mental illnesses are believed to be a genetic predisposition which is triggered by an environmental factor, leading to a disease state. People are particularly vulnerable when they are younger. In general, most mental illnesses could have a better prognosis the later the onset and the more rapidly the illness is identified. Therefore, paying close attention to children's mental health will result in better outcomes for children, even when the predisposition exists.

Hence, may I ask what factors should be taken into consideration when I plan a program evaluation?

Hello. Some of my colleagues suggest that we could use the theory-based model in our program evaluation. But I don’t know this model very much. Could anyone kindly give me a clue about the strengths and weaknesses of this model?

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?
