We have implemented a mobile application for daily self-surveillance of pandemic-induced stress over a period of three months. Can you please provide some guidance on the nature of the data we are collecting? Is it cross-sectional or longitudinal?

Community canteen services have the potential to boost the life satisfaction, dietary habits, and mental health of older individuals, while also enhancing their social networks.

Specifically, we will administer questionnaires to both canteen beneficiaries and individuals who do not utilize such services, using the latter as a control group. Can this be considered an experimental design?

Which surveying method would be more appropriate for our objectives?

In order to develop a hypothesis, I understand that having a theory is necessary. I’m currently investigating the connection between social bonds and juvenile delinquency – do you have any recommendations for a theory I could use as a basis for my research?
