What should be included in a resource database according to AIRS standards?

A resource database according to AIRS standards should indeed include comprehensive information on service providers. This means that the database should contain detailed and accurate records of various organizations, agencies, and programs that provide services within the community. Comprehensive information ensures that users can easily find and access the services they need. It typically includes data on the type of services offered, eligibility criteria, contact details, hours of operation, and any relevant geographical coverage.

While client feedback mechanisms, visitor statistics for service centers, and general community information can be valuable in different contexts, they are not primary components of an effective resource database as specified by AIRS. The primary function of the database is to serve as a detailed directory that connects users to the appropriate service providers, making comprehensive information about these providers crucial for effective referrals and resource utilization.
