Rapid Assessment is an initial review to uncover hypotheses about the focused
problems and causes, identify possible immediate intervention points and
strategies, and encourage further research, analysis and advocacy in this
context. Rapid assessment is an important opportunity to gather information
before designing an intervention; It is used to supplement or refine existing
data. [9] The main purpose is to eliminate the lack of data and information and
to reveal the general situation.
“Rapid Assessment is a research methodology that uses a variety of data collection
strategies simultaneously to provide an understanding of a specific social reality or
situation in a specific socio-cultural context. It is usually done for the purpose of
formulating a project or other type of intervention.” [10] The purpose of the research is
not to create a representative sample. The rapid assessment was not intended to be
representative, but instead offered an initial discovery that could inform further research
and engagement and influence more specific questions in the future. Therefore, the
main aim is to uncover the root causes of the problems in order to develop a forwardlooking approach.
