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?

Following my previous post, the other notation does not have X in the notation. Does it mean it has no intervention?

Hello. I am confused with some research results. According to the existing literature, volunteering and prosocial behaviors have been found highly associated among youth. So, does it mean that there is a causal inference? Can I say that volunteering would lead to prosocial behaviors?

Covid-19 has increased anxiety for many of us, and experts warn a sizable minority could be left with mental health problems that outlast the pandemic. I am worried that youth may suffer from mental health risks… As volunteering might be helpful for youth’s mental health, our center plans to conduct a program for promoting volunteering activities among youth. As for the program evaluation, I want to collect longitudinal data to record the changes in volunteering time and mental health. What types of errors may occur?
