Keep in mind they are subject of artificiality (statement made by professor in class - no such thing as an average thing)17) an approach to needs assessment that involves the secondary analysis of existing statistics to estimate the need for a service and the characteristics of its potential clients, based on the number and characteristics of clients who already use that service. 18) respondents supply their own answers.19) an approach to needs assessment that involves holding meeting where concerned members of the community can express their views and interact freely about their needs. 20) respondents select from a list of answers provided them.21) self-administered questionnaires can be completed by the respondents themselves; interviewers can administer questionnaires in face-to-face encounters, reading the items to respondents and recording the answers; and interviewers can conduct telephone surveys. Plan to send follow-up mailings for self-administered questionnaires to respondents who fail to respond to the initial appeal22) Advantages in terms of economy and the amount of data that can be collected.
