•  
•  
• 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)

HHS 460 Week 1 DQ 2 Intake Process (Ash) 

• For more course tutorials visit
• www.newtonhelp.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

HHS 460 Week 2 DQ 1 Locating Resources (Ash) 

• For more course tutorials visit
• www.newtonhelp.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

HHS 460 Week 2 DQ 2 Research Venues (Ash) 

• For more course tutorials visit
• www.newtonhelp.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)

•   
•  
• Canadian National Health Plan. Research can vary
  from highly sophisticated experimental studies to
  less rigorous short term investigations. Each
  research approach has advantages and
  disadvantages.

 HHS 460 Week 3 DQ 2 Research Formats (Ash) 

• For more course tutorials visit
• www.newtonhelp.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.

•    
• Final Paper 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.

•  
• 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 course tutorials visit
• www.newtonhelp.com
•     
•  Research 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 course tutorials visit
• www.newtonhelp.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?
•  
• One of the reasons for the existence of the IRB
  has to do with screening research applications

HHS 460 Week 5 DQ 2 Ethical Implications (Ash) 

• For more course tutorials visit
• www.newtonhelp.com
•       
• Ethical 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.
