چکیده

Archival Data: Data from existing written or computer records; data that is collected, stored and updated periodically by certain public agencies, such as schools, social services and public health agencies. This data can be cross-referenced in various combinations to identify individuals, groups and geographic areas. Attrition: Loss of subjects from the defined sample during the course of the program; unplanned reduction in the size of the study sample because of participants dropping out of the program, for example because of relocation. Baseline Data: The initial information collected about the condition or performance of subjects prior to the implementation of an intervention, against which progress can be compared at strategic points during and at completion of the program. Benchmark: Reference point or standard against which performance or achievements can be assessed. A benchmark may refer to the performance that has been achieved in the recent past by other comparable organizations. Bias: A point of view that inhibits objectivity. Case studies: An intensive, detailed description and analysis of a single participant, intervention site or program in the context of a particular situation or condition. A case study can be the " story " of one person's experience with the program. A case study does not attempt to represent every participant's exact experience. Coding: To translate a given set of data or items into descriptive or analytic categories to be used for data labeling and retrieval.
