For this discussion, you will describe your research design for answering key evaluation questions for your program evaluation. This is an extended discussion that should be 300400 words. The insights you gain from this discussion will help you complete your Unit 8 assignment.

At the beginning of your post, briefly provide the following information for your peers’ review:

• Population.
• Clinical area of concern.
• Clinical intervention to be evaluated.

After reading the text chapters on research design and watching the multimedia provided in this unit to give you practice with quantitative research designs, provide the following:

• State one evaluation question (pertinent to your planned evaluation) that could be answered with a quantitative study. Then, specify the type of research design that would best answer this question, offering your rationale. Lastly, identify the dependent and independent variables that would be measured to answer this evaluation question.
• State another evaluation question (pertinent to your planned evaluation) that could be answered with a quantitative study. Then, specify the type of research design that would best answer this question, offering your rationale. Lastly, identify the dependent and independent variables that would be measured to answer this evaluation question.

You will find it helpful to analyze the articles you found for your literature review and identify their types of research design as well as independent and dependent variables in order to prepare and refine your plan.

Include current APA style citations for at least four scholarly resources (this may be a combination of book sources and at least two peer-reviewed journal articles) that support your quantitative research design.

Choose ONE of the following five questions to answer.

Your responses need:

• Please indicate which question you are answering.
• 6-8 paragraphs (a paragraph is 3-5 complete sentences, not fragments, not bullet points).  1 paragraph of introduction, 4-6 paragraphs for the body, 1 paragraph of conclusion.
• a thesis statement. You need to make an actual argument that needs to be supported with facts.
• need to rely on evidence found in classroom lectures, our textbook, primary sources in the textbook source collections. You must use the Gorn primary source book and the free OER found on the syllabus YOU MAY NOT use outside sources, like the internet.
• You must cite where you got each piece of evidence [For Example: Hitler annexed Austria in 1938 (Created Equal) or African Americans were often forced to take bogus literacy tests before they were outlawed in 1965 (Voting Literacy Test 1965 in Created Equal) or The Union Stockyards are an example of Gilded Age industrialism (Gilded Age Lecture)]

Follow the question prompts carefully.  If a question asks you to give four specific examples, give four examples. If the question asks you to discuss the cause and effects, please discuss both.

The number one thing that students do wrong in these essays is over-generalize. Be very clear and very explicit.  Do not tell me, for example, that the lives of women changed in the 20th century because “they got more freedoms.”  That will not receive a passing grade.  Instead, you should talk about things like the 19th amendment or the specific things feminism did for women. 

1. How did the lives of African Americans change over the course of the Nineteenth and Twentieth Centuries? Please detail at least 4 specific examples and outline the evolution. Be specific in your response using evidence from your textbook, primary source readings, lectures, videos to support your argument. [HINT: YOU SHOULD NOT BE TALKING ABOUT SLAVERY.. that is History 1301 and happened before 1877]
2. How did the lives of women change over the course of the Nineteenth and Twentieth Centuries? Please detail at least 4 specific examples and outline the evolution. Be specific in your response using evidence from your textbook, primary source readings, lectures, videos to support your argument.
3. Over the course of the Nineteenth and Twentieth Centuries music, art, film and television in the US entered a new cultural epoch where mass consumption and media created a homogeneous culture, arguably for the first time. Please outline at least four innovations, changes, or developments in US Culture.  Make sure to describe the cultural output before and after and what is identified as the cause for the innovation, development, or change.  Be specific in your response using evidence from your textbook, primary source readings, lectures, videos to support your argument.
4. Explain how the fear of communism influenced modern US History.  Use at least 4 specific examples and detail how the fear resulted in a direct action from the US government, people, or culture. Be specific in your response using evidence from your textbook, primary source readings, lectures, videos to support your argument.
5. Explain the causes and effects, successes and failures, of any of the US Civil Rights Movements (African American, Feminism, Latino/a, American Indian, LGBTQ, Disability Rights). Provide me with at least 4 key events of the Movement, the events that led up to those key events, and where the Movement succeeded and failed. Be specific in your response using evidence from your textbook, primary source readings, lectures, videos to support your argument.

intervention you select, provide the following: The rationale for selecting the intervention What would be done Who would be involved In what setting the intervention would occur Which area the intervention is targeting, such as biological, psychological, or social factors

these are the instructions, the intervention I selected social intervention

here is the summary I provided the team I am working with “For week 3 assignment I will be discussing the social interventions that are made available. In the Case Study: Hector Experiences Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, I will be focusing on tertiary programs. The tertiary programs are similar to community programs but offer a more developed in-depth consideration for at-risk patients with psychiatric disorders like OCD, depression and drug addiction. In this case I will be focusing on discuss social interventions within different community programs, rationale for this method, persons and activities involved, setting and targeted area.”

You must use the text book for this class

Case Study: Hector Experiences Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (Biopsychosocial). Page 162 of our reading text book

In a 500-750-word essay, select two wellness inventories or emotional assessment tools, such as two depression inventories, that mental health professionals may use to determine wellness or emotional well-being. Be sure to address the following in your essay:

1. How does wellness and emotional well-being impact the body, mind, and spirit of an individual?
2. What are the basic features of each assessment tool you are analyzing?
3. What are the similarities and differences between these assessments? In other words, what are their benefits and limitations?
4. How is information from these assessments used to inform the treatment process?
5. What might cause a mental health professional to select one over the other in different contexts?

Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center. An abstract is not required.

This assignment uses a rubric. Please review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion.

The co-leadership model for group facilitation holds many potential advantages for group development. The film you viewed in this unit presents a group that is co-led as an example.

• Identify a segment in the film Leading Counseling Groups with Adults: A Demonstration of the Art of Engagement (linked in Resources) in which the group leaders work together to develop and process an intervention. Include the time frame of the exchange so others can locate the segment.
• Describe how their interventions deepen the experience for the group members.
• Evaluate the overall co-leadership relationship using the assigned readings for support.

Write a 500-750 word paper reflecting upon your professional  developmental progress as a result of this course. Consider including  the following:

1. How have your beliefs changed during the practicum? What    counseling approaches studied during your coursework at GCU now seem    more or less relevant and applicable as a result of the direct    client contact you had at your practicum site? You may cite sources    from your Counseling Theories courses or other classes.
2. What are some additional areas in your professional development    that you may want to obtain?
3. How have your professional    abilities been enhanced at this point in your program?
4. How    motivated are you to seek out more information on topics discussed    in this course?
5. Identify your five greatest accomplishments    from the practicum. Why are these accomplishments your  greatest?
6. What contributed to your success?
7. Assess    your performance across each professional skill contained in your    weekly Typhon Hour Logs. 
8. What are the total number of    direct practice and nondirect hours you have achieved in this  course?
9. What are your next steps for licensure once your    practicum is completed?

Based on the topic lecture, prepare a treatment plan based on a    selected client from your caseload. Take great care in changing any    possible identifying information in compliance with confidentiality    regulations and HIPAA. Your site supervisor should be aware of this    class activity.
