CONCLUSION on Observational Research

        It is concluded that the support of quantitative research and data collection shows have people spend their lives. It involves the conditions in which people who are being observed do not produce answers upon interviewing or via questionnaires about their experience and how those who respond to proxies are not considered as authentic data source. In community based services, observational research is considered as to give better evidence of good quality life when observed in people with learning abilities. This technique has been thought to be more evident. It has also given the advantages of new service models, which have not been used by everyone to same extent and it should not be assumed that new models automatically provide better lifestyle for people. It diverted attention upon how people are supported when health is given by well trained staff. No other study methods succeed to provide the situations where people are capable of expressing themselves. Therefore observation is important and it continues to add more value to social care research.
