Thirty one evaluation studies of community development projects were identified.
Consequently, a functional MMORPG community needs explicit recruiting strategies, as well as further strategies that ensure the participation quality, such as knowledge assessment and monitoring, modeling and consistent training, and evaluation of newcomer integration.
This paper describes the study protocol of a comprehensive longitudinal evaluation of a successful primary health care service in a small rural Australian community to assess its performance, sustainability, and responsiveness to changing community needs and health system requirements.
