Hi, friend! I have collected information about the number of using community welfare services. Is it a univariate analysis or bivariate analysis?

Hello. Community mental health services for severe mental illness is of particular significance under pandemic. However, Hong Kong’s social distancing restrictions might strongly weaken individuals’ social support ties.

Hi friend. When our team tried to collect data, we found that, generally, residents in squatter areas have low education levels. Hence, it was difficult for them to fill in the questionnaire independently. I wonder if we could read out the questions, get the answers from them, and fill in the questionnaire on our behalf?

I saw the previous OCOP discussions about need theories. It is very impressive! I further want to ask a question about it, too. In community development, the Neighborhood Level Community Development Project (NLCDP) usually pays attention to the insufficiency of welfare services in certain communities. So, is it a kind of comparative need?

Given the importance of need assessment in community development, I hope to know more about needs theories. Could anyone elaborate on the typology of social needs for me?

Following my previous post, I think community-wide need assessment might be resource-intensive. It could be too difficult to conduct for a social worker alone. May I know your opinion?
