Hypothetical Problem
• Our aim is to enhance a social services program by focusing on foreign-born population living outside city centers.
• We are also interested in this population’s ability to speak English, how long they have been in the U.S., where they are from, economic situation and other characteristics.
• We want to pilot the program in a small area.
