You are formulating a research question about whether or not ethnic minorities have a more difficult time accessing social services than members of the ethnic majority. In order to better formulate your research question, you should:
a. Consider writing a relationship question (e.g., Is there a relationship between ethnicity and accessibility to social services?)
b. Consider writing a descriptive-comparative question (for example: Is the accessibility to social services different for ethnic minorities than it is for those of the ethnic majority?)
c. Conduct a literature review to find relevant articles pertaining to ethnic minorities and their use of social services to decide whether your research question should be on the knowledge-level continuum.
d. Consider writing a question about whether or not minority groups perceive social services as being useful to them in the first place.
