How can we measure the impact of community research?

Measuring the impact of community research can involve various methods, such as surveys, interviews, and data analysis. What specific aspects are you interested in?

I'm particularly interested in the social impact on the community.

For social impact, you can assess changes in community engagement, quality of life, and social cohesion. Have you considered using pre- and post-research surveys?

Yes, that sounds useful. What kind of questions should I include?

Include questions about community members' perceptions, participation levels, and any changes they’ve noticed in their environment. Would you like examples of specific questions?

That would be great! Can you provide some examples?

Sure! You could ask: 'How has your involvement in community activities changed?' or 'What improvements have you noticed in your neighborhood since the research began?'
