Question about the scales

Hi! Our organisation is going to use the scales provided in the outcome/impact indicator bank, but find that some the scale items are not applicable to our service users. Can we modify it or delete that item? Will the modified scales still reliable? Thanks!

My suggestion is to keep them and test them in a pilot study. If the results of pilot study are not satisfactory, then delete them.

Oh I see, but do we need to use reliability test in the SPSS to see if the modified items are suitable for us to use?

Please note that usually reducing the number of items would weaken the reliability. Thus, slight change in wording in items is preferable.

Hello, Dr. Mel Could I ask another query regarding CSO? The CSO program may only be used as a form of discipline, I wonder.

Could you perhaps assist me in getting some information about the community service orders (CSO) program verified? According to what I’ve heard, a court may issue a CSO order requiring a person who has reached the age of 14 or older and has been found guilty of a crime carrying a sentence of imprisonment to perform unpaid work for a number of hours up to 240 hours per month while being supervised by a probation officer. Can I refer to those as CSO scheme activities?

Hi, I realized that it seems the concept “outcome” is different from the term “output”. Taking the grandparent training project as an example, what is the “outcome’ referable?

I have designed a large-scale survey about the life satisfaction of low-income families in Hong Kong. Is it appropriate to use the electronic survey through mobile phones?
