HHS 460 Week 1 DQ 1 Research Presentation (Ash)
FOR MORE CLASSES VISIT www.hhs460aid.com Research
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
differentiating these two research types and then
discuss their potential contribution to research
in health and human services. Respond to at least
two of your classmates postings.

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 Sexual Harassment
Criminal Justice

HHS 460 Week 2 DQ 2 Research Venues (Ash) FOR
MORE CLASSES VISIT www.hhs460aid.com Research
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.

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
8
HHS 460 Week 3 DQ 2 Research Formats (Ash) FOR
MORE CLASSES VISIT www.hhs460aid.com Research
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.

Outline. The Final Paper will be the final
assignment for this research course. This paper
will be due on the last day of class in Week 5.
Your written assignment for this week is to do
the following Identify the phenomena you wish
to concentrate on within the broad realm of
health and human services. Your references
(should be a minimum of eight), will come from
the databases and reference sources you covered
earlier throughout course assignments. You will
need to create a description of the phenomena
the core issue or objective upon which you will
focus. Identify the components, attributes, and
different segments you will write about in your
discussion.

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

HHS 460 Week 4 DQ 2 Research in Practice
(Ash) FOR MORE CLASSES VISIT www.hhs460aid.com R
esearch 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
12
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
13
HHS 460 Week 5 DQ 2 Ethical Implications
(Ash) FOR MORE CLASSES VISIT www.hhs460aid.com Eth
ical Implications. Assume you were interested in
the issues related to violence in elementary
level school children. You are aware of the
increased incidences of bullying, leading to
serious 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, trying to record behaviors that are
definitely bullying behaviors or could lead to
bullying. So you are focusing on the
perpetration of bullying. For this discussion,
you are asked to identify ethical factors
involved in your proposed research. Your list
would include research issues and ethical
implications beyond the basic informed consent
condition. Respond to at least two of your
classmates postings.
