Hello there, my friend! I have gathered data on the usage of community welfare services. Would this require a univariate analysis or a bivariate analysis?

Building upon my previous statement, based on the available literature, multiple factors, including age, gender, and education level, are recognized as influential in community mental health, alongside social support. Should we consider all of them as independent variables?

However, in Hong Kong, social distancing measures have the potential to significantly weaken people’s social support networks. If we study the impact of social support on mental health, should social support be considered as an independent variable?

Hello there. While gathering data, our team discovered that residents in squatter areas generally have limited educational backgrounds. As a result, they faced challenges in independently completing the questionnaire. I was wondering if it would be possible for us to verbally read out the questions, record their responses, and assist in filling out the questionnaire on their behalf?

Hey there, friend! Engaging in home visits with every household in the community can be a time-consuming and costly endeavor. If we choose to employ a random selection process where we pick a few blocks within the estate and, within each block, randomly select a few households, what specific sampling method would this be?

I came across the earlier discussions on need theories in OCOP, and I must say they were quite remarkable! I have another question related to this topic. In community development, the Neighborhood Level Community Development Project (NLCDP) often focuses on addressing the lack of welfare services in specific communities. Would this be considered a form of comparative need?

Considering my previous question, in a community where a standard of service provision has been set by a group of experts, health professionals, and policymakers, individuals who do not meet this standard are considered to have service needs. To which category does this type of need belong?

After reviewing numerous evaluation reports, I’ve come to understand that community infrastructure significantly impacts the well-being of residents. Consequently, I’m contemplating whether it would be advisable to incorporate community infrastructure into the needs assessment as well.

Following up on the previous statement, I believe conducting a community-wide needs assessment could potentially require a significant amount of resources. It might prove challenging for a single social worker to undertake alone. What are your thoughts on this matter?
