Following my previous post, if I want to further compare the mean age of older adults living in the community, subvented RCHEs, and non-subvented RCHEs, I wonder whether an independent t-test is still appropriate?

May I ask a question about older adults’ blood pressure information? In a nursing home, does this information belong to privacy or public, if it is collected for program evaluation?

Hi! Our nursing home is considering using telemedicine for older clients. And learned from the MEL project, we hope to design a program evaluation to examine its effectiveness! Maybe get another comparison group would be a good choice? Do you agree with it? Shall we set conventional outreach or clinic-based geriatric care as a control group?

In our program evaluation, we have interviewed several older persons and asked their views opinions towards our mental health program. Is it proper for us to adopt a quantitative questionnaire to supplement with interviews?

Hi, friend! Our team wants to describe a mental health program for older adults in-depth in evaluation. Can we use case studies as the evaluation design?

Many thanks for your previous suggestion! May I ask for more information about the time-series design for an older adults’ memory-monitoring program? Is it a descriptive design or a causal design?
