Answer 1

1. I am an MPH student ,posted for internship in a church . There is no kindergarten type pre school for the small children's in that community because of which the parents mostly mothers are unable to go for work . To sort this issue I have planned a hold meeting regarding the same issue in the next church meeting and would request everyone to help according to their finance to establish a small preschool in the church itself . It will be beneficial for the children and parents too . It will allow the childrens proper growth and development and also will allow parents to go for their work .

2. Validity is defined as the degree of agreement between the claimed measurement and the real world . The validity of a research instrument such as questionnaire is generally determined by conducting a survey or pilot study on a small sample with similar baseline characteristics (but not the same study sample). This will provide you the opportunity to make adjustments and modifications to the questionnaire items so that the items will appropriately measure issues they are meant to measure.
