Hi. I am working on a youth social skill group. And I hope to know if there are any benefits if I adopt a post-test-only design? Could anyone kindly help me?

By the way, I found that if using quantitative methods, I could hardly hear how the older adults themselves interpreter their experiences about sexual needs or other related services. Shall I add in-depth interviews in data collection?Hi! I recently got to know the concept “asynchronous communication”. It refers to when two (or more) people can communicate without the requirement that they are “present” at the same exact moment in time. Nowadays, in online youth services, there are synchronous and asynchronous communications. For hidden youth, it seems asynchronous communication allows more convenience for them. May I know your opinions about it?

Thank you for your previous reply! Regarding the Scale for Suicide Ideation (SSI), I found it is a self-reported scale. Therefore, youth respondents may hide their real suicide thoughts before the evaluator, a total stranger. In that case, I wonder what kind of measurement error is it?

As we know, suicide has become the leading cause of death among youth aged 15 to 24 in Hong Kong. Therefore, our center is launching a life education program for youth in the community. Regarding the program evaluation, we plan to assess the participants’ suicide ideation before and after the service. Would you please recommend a valid scale?

I plan to conduct a pilot study in a subvented Crisis Residential Center, to get myself prepared for a more complex evaluation. Do you think I could access the names and contact information of young persons who stayed at crisis residential centers?
