Bradshaw's Need Typology Matching

This question requires matching the four types of needs defined by Bradshaw (Normative, Felt, Expressed, Comparative) with their correct meanings.

Matching Process

Let's break down each type of need according to Bradshaw's framework:

• Normative Needs (A): These needs are defined based on what is considered normal or standard within a professional or expert context. They represent the gap between a current condition and a socially agreed-upon standard. This aligns with II. Define according to experts or professional standards.
• Felt Needs (B): These are the needs that individuals or groups *perceive* or *feel* they have. It's based on their subjective experience. This matches I. Identified by Individuals or Groups.
• Expressed Needs (C): When felt needs are converted into demands or actions, they become expressed needs. This is the public articulation of what people want. This corresponds to IV. Public articulation of Individual or Group Needs.
• Comparative Needs (D): This type of need arises when comparing the services or conditions of one population group to another similar group that is considered to be receiving adequate provision. Discrepancies indicate a comparative need. This fits III. Identified through comparison of characteristics among relative groups.

Correct Matching

Based on the analysis, the correct pairings are:

• A - II
• B - I
• C - IV
• D - III

This corresponds to Option 2.
