90%
All designs are variations of the ________________ - correct answers Classical experimental
design
(random assignment, pretest, post-test, experimental group, control group)
Are self-selected groups a good representation of the community? - correct answers No
Can focus groups stand alone? - correct answers Yes
,Define community forum - correct answers An open meeting at which concerned community
members can discuss relevant issues
Define random - correct answers A process in which each case has a known change of being
selected
Define risk factor analysis - correct answers Choosing special indicators based on their ability to
predict problems or use of services at the individual level
Define synthetic estimation - correct answers Estimating a characteristic for a small area from
data for a larger population
- looking at national stats and applying it to local data
Define the structure of focus groups - correct answers On a continuum
LESS - exploratory
MORE - predetermined issues
Describe a focus group - correct answers A group session where 8-9 people and multiple
questions are asked to get a feel for a variety of answers
- bastardization of qualitative data because everything needs to be number crunched
Describe axial coding - correct answers - 2nd pass
- begins with an organized set of initial codes or preliminary concepts
- focus on initial coded themes
- raises new questions
- can suggest dropping some themes or examining others more in depth
- are there patterns among the themes?
- use open coded notes to develop themes
,Describe open coding - correct answers - 1st pass
- bring themes to surface
- develop hundreds of codes
- most evidence = strongest codes
- use margins to reflect and add preliminary ideas
Describe selective coding - correct answers - 3rd/last pass
- scanning data and previous codes to determine a core category around which the remaining
categories fit
- identify great illustrative quotations to provide evidence
Describe the history, maturation, testing and instrumentation threats to internal validity -
correct answers History - any event that coincides with the independent variable and could
affect the
dependent
Maturation - threat that some biological, psychological, or emotional process within the persons
and separate from the intervention will change over time
Testing - effects due to repeated testing of participants over time
Instrumentation - any change that occurs over time in measurement procedures or devices,
there is always error in measures and that becomes more profound when there is a change in
instrument
Describe the nature of questions asked during qualitative interviewing - correct answers - less
structured
- non-directive
- in-depth
, Do focus groups require professional moderators? - correct answers No
- if you use one, they must be skilled or trained
Do indicators of problems reveal how problems can be solved? - correct answers No
Do quasi-experimental designs use randomization? - correct answers No
Do themes just emerge? - correct answers No, they are identified
Do you need special facilities for a focus group? - correct answers No
Does a researcher measure the dependent variable once? - correct answers Usually, they
measure it more than once
Does the definition of need rely on people knowing that they have a particular need? - correct
answers No
During a time series, why is it beneficial to have multiple pre and post-tests? - correct answers
To ensure the change isn't a part of a cyclical or linear trend
During step 3, what types of questions are used? - correct answers - ice-breaker
- introductory
- key
- transition
- ending
