If I plan to add qualitative methods into my program evaluation on a community project and I further hope to use triangulation to increase the credibility, do you get any practical suggestions for my specific methods?

Hello. When we are trying to explore the deep meaning of some community heritages, in a historical or cultural approach, which theoretical perspective is more appropriate? Positivism or interpretivism?

Hi there! When I am reading journal papers, I often see the term “large-scale.” May I ask how we could determine whether an evaluation belongs to the “large” or “small” scale in a community program?

Following the previous post, so, compared to external evaluators, an internal evaluator could be an employee of the community center being evaluated. Am I right?

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?
