Answer to Question 1
ANS: B
Informant interviews are methods of directly collecting data. County health department nurses and church officials are often good key informants. Key informants need not hold any formal title, but are generally viewed as community leaders by other community members and often have a long history in the community. The state department of health, surrounding communities, and CDC do not meet the definition of an informant.
Answer to Question 2
ANS: B
Qualitative data is collected through interviews and observation. This data is the descriptions provided by these individuals through interviews. Quantitative data is the numbers that can be found about the community, such as crime statistics. A focus group is similar to an interview in that it collects data mainly through asking open-ended questions to participants, but to a small group rather than an individual. Participant observation refers to the deliberate sharing in the life of a community, such as participating in a local fair or festival, or attending a political or social event.
