Following the previous post, we hope to minimize such social desirability bias in our future evaluation. I wonder if anyone could give us some suggestions?

Hello, friend! In our survey about energy saving in the community, we asked residents about whether they waste water in daily use. Surprisingly, many of them have responded “never”… It is unbelievable. Could anyone please tell us why?

We’ve all heard that pets are surrendered or discarded every day around the globe. Hong Kong has seen a massive rise in pet ownership. According to a 2017 report by the Veterinary Surgeons Board of Hong Kong, pet ownership surged by 72 percent from 297,100 dogs and cats in 2005-06 to 510,600 in 2015-16. Hence, our team hopes to initiate a pilot pet adoption project and build a pet-friendly community. And we would send questionnaires to residents through the mail. May I ask ways to improve the response rate?

Hello. Would you recommend a social inclusion scale for me? It would be great if it has been validated in Hong Kong context.

In the topic of community development, it is clear that social inclusion is very important as being socially included means that somethings are present in people’s lives, such as being accepted (for who they are) within their communities, actively participating in the community. Therefore, I wonder, in the Hong Kong context, what kinds of groups might be the recipients of social inclusion services?

Hello~ After a search for more information about social determinants of health, I realize that individuals’ well-being is truly affected by the social context. Therefore, I hope to do a small survey on it. And I wonder when I try to assess social determinants of health, what variables can I consider as the potential predictors?
