2.3 Record and collate relevant data where appropriate.
In order to record and collect accurate data or information there are basically two types of
data collection methods (Miller-Gairy, 2015). Primary and secondary are consider two essential
and useful methods of collecting as well as comparing information about the perception of young
mother vaccination in United Kingdom. These method will be explained as below:
Primary method: In order to gather primary information, there are different sources
which are face-to-face interview, questionnaire, focus group, observation etc. These are effective
methods of primary data collection. According to the current investigation, face-to-face
interview will be used by researcher for analysing perception of 6 person about the Young
mothers vaccination in UK and link to autism (Karafillakis and Larson, 2017). There are some
interview questions will be prepared for identifying perception of young mothers vaccination in
UK and link to autism. These are shown as below:
Face-to-face Interview
Q1) Why are Vaccines still important for your child?
Q2) According to you, Vaccination is prevent your child for any kind of diseases?

Q3) As per your perception, Vaccines cause Autism?
Q4) What happens if you don't Vaccinate your child?
Q5) Do you believe that all vaccines 100% effective for your child?
Q6) What are major side effects of Vaccination for your child?
Q7) Can Allergic children be Vaccinated?
Q8) Can you vaccinate if your child is not well?
Q9) Is Vaccination improved Immunity of child?
Q10) Is proper schedule of vaccination helps in preventing autism in future.
Secondary method: It is another type of data collection method which is also used by
researcher for collecting in-depth data about the current issue. For collecting secondary
information, books, articles, magazines, publication research, review of literature etc. are main
sources (Forster and et. al., 2016). Along with this, secondary information regarding the current
issue have been completed in literature review section.
CHAPTER 3: RESEARCH ANALYSIS (1500)
3.1 Appropriate research evaluation techniques
Evaluation of research is consider as one of the important aspect of researcher as it help in
evaluating information in systematic manner (Atchison, and Hassounah, 2015). Mainly, it is
refers to the process that define what is appropriate within the research. Whereas it also help in
measuring the data and procedures that it not much appropriate. Furthermore, it is based on the
two type of techniques such as:
Formative assessment: It is one of the effective and appropriate aspect that used at the
time of improvement or development of program. Mainly, it is also consider as a key area that
analyse the data, range of formal and informal assessment activities in order to gather relevant
data and information in systematic way. With the help of this, researcher can easily develop
better understanding towards the investigation and improve the chances of attaining positive and
reliable results at the end of the research.
Summative assessment: This type of research assessment it refers to the evaluation that
develop a better judgement that is related to the effectiveness of the programs and its end results
as well. With the assistance of this, investigator determine the overall knowledge within the
9

study ad also develop a specified standard (O'Shea and et. al., 2018). It may contribute in
improving the possibilities of undertaking a successful research and activities as well that
support in developing positive results at the end of the study.
3.2 Interpret and analyse the results
Q1) Why are Vaccines still important for your child?
Answer: Vaccines are important because it is a way to protect child from different serious
infections and diseases that can be life—threatening. As it also prevent babies for various
diseases such as measles, tetanus, chicken pox, whooping cough, diphtheria and many more. By

meningitis, polio and pneumonia. Thus, it can said that vaccines are the most effective and
powerful way for parents to take control of their kid health and at the same time also give them
warm and best chances of growing into healthy young adults. When we vaccinate our child, we
also protect their family and friends who could easily catch disease.

any kind of virus and bacteria. If children with autism then they would have received an MMR
vaccine.
