Week 6Group Intervention and Research Design Proposal

Assignment

Purpose

The purpose of this assignment is to design and present a group intervention proposal grounded in an evidence-based practice that addresses the needs of a specific population served by your practicum agency. Through the development of a group research design, this project aims to apply research methods and utilize empirical evidence to inform, assess, and enhance services. The recorded presentation will demonstrate your ability to integrate competencies related to research-informed practice and program evaluation.

Course Outcomes

This assignment provides documentation of student ability to meet the following course outcomes:

• CO 5: Apply research methods and evidence to inform, assess, and improve social work practices, social welfare policies, and social welfare programs (Competency 4, 6, 7).

Due Date

Students must complete the Group Intervention and Research Design Proposal assignment 

Directions

Complete this assignment following the steps for each section below.

6. Slide 6: Implementation Plan. Briefly describe how the intervention would be implemented. Be sure to include information on training, fidelity measures, costs, and other resources necessary to implement the intervention.
7. Slide 7: Research Question. What is your research question or hypothesis?
8. Slide 8: Dependent Variables. What are your dependent variables (identify at least two), and how will they be operationalized? Describe your use of measures and your rationale for choosing these measures.
9. Slide 9: Data Collection. How long will it take for you to collect data? Describe your use of pre- and post-tests and when they will be administered.
10. Slide 10: Recruitment. Briefly describe your recruitment strategy for participants/research subjects.
11. Slide 11: Research Design. Describe the research design you have selected for this proposal and your rationale for why it was chosen. Consider the needs of the agency and the ethics guiding your choice.
12. Slide 12: Control Group. Briefly describe your methods for creating a control group. Describe your rationale for using (or not using) randomization. If randomization is used, describe your procedures.
