Paper Structure

1) The first part of your paper should include background information about your

topic. What is the topic? Who is affected by the problem you selected? What are

underlying causes of the problem? You should show a clear understanding of the

topic you selected based on your research (not opinion).

2) The next part of your paper should explain how each of the 3 models of service

delivery discussed in the textbook (the Medical Model; Public Health Model; and

Human Services Model) would address the topic you selected. For each model:

a. Explain how the model addresses the problem you selected, including the

strengths and limitations of the model in addressing the problem. For

example, how does the medical model view those struggling with substance

abuse? What support can the medical model provide? What are the

strengths of the medical model in working with substance abuse? What are

the limitations of the medical model in working with clients who struggle

with substance abuse? Do this for each model, be specific and use

information from the textbook and your own research. Be sure to clearly

cite sources used and support your assertions with evidence (i.e. explain

your reasoning).

3) Lastly, write about two barriers to receiving help (as discussed in the textbook)

that clients struggling with the problem you selected might face and suggest a

strategy to overcome each of the barriers. Be specific and support your assertions

with evidence.
