You are at a Town Hall meeting in your rural community. The meeting is to address some social issues that have become worrying to at least 10% of 10,000 plus residents. A resident suggests that there are too many community-based organizations doing the same thing and as a result there is overlapping and no efficiency in tackling the problems. The Member of Parliament suggests that a small study be done to find out what activities organizations working in the community are doing instead of just assuming. Persons in attendance agree that a questionnaire should be developed and sent out to the respective heads of the organizations. Having done sociology and read about questionnaires, list at least three reasons why a questionnaire would (or would not) be, in this context, a suitable data collection tool in this context and put forward a recommendation.
