HHS 460 Week 1 DQ 1 Research Presentation
(Ash) FOR MORE CLASSES VISIT www.hhs460aid.com Res
earch Presentation. Assume you are asked to
present a half hour talk about research in human
services. Since this could cover a vast number of
concepts, you decide to illustrate a basic
research process (steps) and provide a real-world
example taken from your text. One example is
Research in Practice 10.2 (pp. 273) and the
second example is Research in Practice 9.2 (pp.
246). Explanations as to the rational for using a
scientific research method compared to just
providing a theoretical explanation would make
the presentation more valid. In the discussion
address the notion that in so many health and
human services programs, finding important
information is tied to the need for information
to solve problems. Respond to at least two of
your classmates postings.

HHS 460 Week 1 DQ 2 Intake Process (Ash) FOR MORE
CLASSES VISIT www.hhs460aid.com Intake Process.
Often when providing services, basic intake
information is required. The researcher could, at
the end of a given time period, examine these
intake papers and, based on some need, compute
descriptive statistics using information provided
by the clients / participants. Information such
as income, family make up, and education levels
could be used to compute mean values. However,
you may be asked to configure a study that can be
called experimental. In this discussion forum you
are asked to compare these two formats and
identify in what ways they differ. In order to
determine definitions of descriptive research,
you will need to access the MREL Reference
Appendix A. Your post should focus on

HHS 460 Week 2 DQ 1 Locating Resources (Ash) FOR
MORE CLASSES VISIT www.hhs460aid.com Locating
Resources. The ability to locate and utilize
information relative to Health and Human Services
is an important component of many health and
human service jobs. Some of the areas included in
HHS programs are Legal/illegal immigration
Poverty Violence in the Media Unemployment
Alcoholism Gambling

Venues. Research can be divided into three broad
areas descriptive, qualitative, and
quantitative. Some researchers subsume
descriptive research (archival) as quantitative.
However, for this discussion, we are considering
it a separate kind, as descriptive research can
fall into either area qualitative or
quantitative. Your assignment for this discussion
is to prepare a 250-300 word post differentiating
qualitative, quantitative, and analysis of
availability data. Identify those attributes that
form the essence of these three research venues.
Respond to at least two of your classmates
postings. Questions that might be considered
What are the differences in types of data /
information among the three venues?

HHS 460 Week 3 DQ 1 Canadian National Health Plan
(Ash) FOR MORE CLASSES VISIT www.hhs460aid.com Can
adian National Health Plan. Research can vary
from highly sophisticated experimental studies to
less rigorous short term investigations. Each
research approach has advantages and
disadvantages. Among the different paradigms you
could use, two of the more common are the
positivist approach and the interpretive
approach (consult pages 39-40 in the text). If
you were interested in determining if the
Canadian National Health Plan was better
(better in terms of care, coverage, and choice of
doctors) then the current United States Health
Coverage Plan (Obama sponsored), which approach
would you choose to make this determination?
Provide a justification to your answer. Remember,
your decision is about the research paradigm, and

Formats. The research format found in scholarly
journal articles has purpose and direction.
Chapters 2 and 4 in the text provide information
as to the logic and makeup of a research effort.
Parallel to the structure of the research format
is the notion of the scientific method as a basic
approach to solving problems. Your task is to
analyze these two venues, identifying in what
ways they complement each other, and how each
venue is related to the other. You may want to
access outside references regarding the concepts
of research format and the scientific method.
Respond to at least two of your classmates
postings.

HHS 460 Week 4 DQ 1 Careers in HHS (Ash) FOR
MORE CLASSES VISIT www.hhs460aid.com Careers in
HHS. The great variety of careers and occupations
within the field of HHS is growing every year. A
review of some of the data bases in the text will
provide opportunities to search and identify many
occupational areas within different governmental
departments and programs. Searching, for example,
the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services
website will result in finding many careers such
as social workers, preschool programs, criminal
justice, counseling, gerontology, and drug and
alcohol treatment. After selecting two different
websites related to HHS, identify two career
areas in the HHS field and do the following
Record the websites or data bases, listing the
careers or occupations given. Prepare a brief
description of the career / occupation.

in Practice. Qualitative research in the past 30
years has increasingly been viewed as making an
important contribution to research and
evaluation. For this discussion, you are asked to
read two Research in Practice articles in the
text. Evaluate and synthesize the contribution
qualitative researched played with regard to
Research in Practice (5.1, pp. 110) and Research
in Practice (12.2, p 338). Your work should
clearly identify the importance of using
qualitative methods and explain in what ways
these methods helped the studies. Respond to two
of your classmates postings

HHS 460 Week 5 DQ 1 Ethics in Research (Ash) FOR
MORE CLASSES VISIT www.hhs460aid.com Ethics in
Research. Ethics plays an important role in
conducting of research. While the individual
researcher is responsible for his/her ethical
practice, any research sponsored by an
organization, university, or government program
has a review process guided by a code of ethics.
Besides the code of ethics, the Institutional
Review Board (IRB) plays an important role in
monitoring research. Your task in this discussion
is to examine the origins of the IRB and analyze
how the Review Board guides or monitors research.
In your 250-300 word post answer the following
three questions What does the IRB do to
protect a research participant from harm?

Implications. Assume you were interested in the
issues related to violence in elementary level
school children. You are aware of the increased

problems. Specifically, you want to video tape
childrens behavior out of school on their way
home to and from school. You want to capture, on
video, the social interactions that take place,
