Applying Outcome Studies

1. Describe how you would conduct an outcome evaluation, using quantitative research methods in a social work practice setting.

· Give a brief background on the program.

· Include a short discussion of experimental design, sample, independent and dependent variables, measurement, data collection, and data analysis strategies.

· Include a rationale for making the choices you have made regarding design, measurement tools, and analysis strategies.

Include references to the tools that describe the principles of quantitative research (2 pages).

· Your community wants to open an adult daycare center. You have located the Farrel Foundation, which would like to fund start-up grants for daycare programs. This foundation's research demonstrates a correlation between depression and length of time in a skilled nursing facility. A group of community residents feel that an adult daycare would allow the aging population to stay with their families while using the supplemental daycare services. You are asked to confirm the correlation between depression and length of stay in nursing homes in an effort to provide community options. Nursing home residents were asked to complete the Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS), which is a 15-item scale (a 15 represents a high level of depression). 

Using the data in the Dataset attachment, test whether length of stay in a nursing home and depression are related at a .05 level of significance.
