Community Needs Assessment: Using Social Indicators and Key Informants.

Watcke, Ronald R.

Community Services Catalyst, v12 n3 p6-10 Sum 1982

Presents the social indicators approach (which infers needs from currently existing descriptive data) and the key informants technique (which secures information from individuals with insight into community needs) as alternatives to the community needs assessment survey. Considers both approaches more cost-effective and successful for diagnosing unique community needs. (DMM)
