HHS 460 Week 1 DQ 1 Research Presentation

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

HHS 460 Week 1 DQ 2 Intake Process (Ash)

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.

HHS 460 Week 2 DQ 1 Locating Resources (As

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

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 250300 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 /

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. 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

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

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

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

)

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?

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
