Dear Dr. Mel, we are developing an evaluation program on the operation of the Action Committee Against Narcotics (ACAN). I am not sure about the sample size we need to conduct the survey. Could you please tell me if it is better to have a big sample size?

The sample size affects the power of a statistical test greatly. The larger the sample size, the smaller the variance of the sampling distribution of the mean. But you must remember that a larger sample size means a higher economic cost also. Hence, you may calculate the sample size based on your research funding.

Hi, everyone. I get a question! Different stakeholders may have different expectations for the program evaluation. May I ask how evaluators could deal with such contradictory expectations?

Hello. May I ask a question about how to choose the model for program evaluation? Sometimes I find that it is not enough to adopt only one model. Can I use different models in a program evaluation at the same time?

Hi, we are invited to develop an evaluation program on IFSCs. May I ask why we need to clarify the meaning of evaluation to the program personnel? I thought it was common sense.

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?
