Extension to Communities

Advantages

1. Quick and inexpensive
2. Questionnaire usually easy to prepare
3. Contact in the information gathering process may help provide legitimation for later implementation

Disadvantages

1. Information likely to be biased - age, occupation, education, income
2. Information is typically from "providers" of services as opposed to "customers" of services
3. Number of informants surveyed may be too small to generalize findings to total community
