Hi friend. May I ask what an external evaluator means in community development services? I am not sure who could be called an “external evaluator”.

Based on the results of our previous evaluation, we discovered that increased resilience would lead to increased wellness among community workers in our center. Can we generalize this finding to all social workers in Hong Kong?

Promoting community staff’s resilience is imperative in community work. We have initiated a daily self-surveillance of pandemic-related stress through a mobile application for three months. Could you please kindly give me a clue about what kind of data we are collecting, is it cross-sectional or longitudinal?

Many thanks for your previous explanation! Since it is impossible for us to use randomization methods in our program evaluation on community canteen services, we will use a quasi-experimental design instead. May I know the points to note in quasi-experimental designs?

The community canteen services can improve older adults’ satisfaction with life and diet, and mental health status and enrich their social capital, but this still needs to be future evidenced. To examine the influence of canteen services on participants’ mental health, we plan to conduct a survey. Specifically, we will distribute questionnaires to all canteen beneficiaries and some others who never use such a service. In this way, those who do not receive canteen service can be a control group. So, is this an experimental design?

Hi. I got a problem with data analysis. That is, I want to check the correlation between “pet-friendly” and community cohesion. If so, what kind of statistical analysis could I perform?

As pet-keeping becomes increasingly popular, creating a “pet-friendly” community is important. Suppose our center is going to have a survey about residents’ attitudes towards pet access to open public space. I wonder which surveying method might be more appropriate, mail survey or telephone survey?
