HMSV 8110 Social Science the Gateway Foundation Analysis
Data Collection and Ethical Concerns
This is the second assignment in your Action Research Project. Begin by reviewing the project description and the Unit 9 instructions for the final project assignment, which will include a section presenting a revised version of your work in this assignment. Also, be sure to examine the Data Collection and Ethical Concerns Scoring Guide before you begin, in order to familiarize yourself with the requirements of this assignment. Utilize the thinking process presented in the Riverbend City: Diving Into Action Research Components multimedia presentation as you develop this assignment, even if you are not using the Riverbend City scenario for your course project.
In each assignment going forward, you will include the content of your previous assignments and add new content as assigned. In your Unit 2 assignment, you created the Introduction and Background for the Study sections of your final project report. In this assignment, you will add the Description of the Research Context for the Study section. You will examine the context surrounding your chosen study by researching other organizational reports from the field. You will also present the context within your chosen study, including information about the data and participants involved in the study. In addition, you will address the ethical implications of the research and data gathering for your chosen study.
ASSIGNMENT INSTRUCTIONS
Based on your readings for this unit, determine what data reporting model was used in your chosen study to examine the organizational issue. Conduct research on data reporting models that have been used in the human services field for studies similar to your chosen study and be prepared to discuss them. Also, examine your chosen research study closely in order to address each of the questions outlined below.
Copy the content from your Unit 2 assignment into a new document. Make any updates to this content that may be called for, based on instructor feedback or other project developments. Then, create a new section, titled Description of the Research Context for the Study. For the Description of the Research Context for the Study component of your Action Research Project, address the points below.
Note for learners using the Riverbend City scenario for the project: As in the Unit 2 assignment, you may find you need more information for the project than is provided in the Riverbend City multimedia presentations. If so, create realistic information, using your own local city or community population or data.
Description of the Research Context for the Study
Discuss important information concerning the data and the participants for your chosen study.
Identify where and when the study was conducted, including where the data was gathered.
Explain what was done in the setting to create a context from which the data was collected.
Discuss who the participants in the research were, and describe how they were selected.
Identify the data reporting model (or models) used in your chosen study.
Reference how the data reporting model(s) were used by at least two other organizations in similar organizational reports.
Discuss how the data storage was managed, so that participants’ identifying information remained separate (from charts, etcetera).
Examine the ethical implications of your chosen study on the human services issue.
State the relationship of the researcher(s) to the participants of the study.
State whether it was necessary for the researcher(s) to gain permission (informed consent) from participants to conduct the study. If so, describe those measures.
Explain how the researcher(s) assured participants that they were protected from harm and that they would not be exposed to risks.
Explain how participant confidentiality was protected.
Describe how the identifying information was protected.
Describe how vulnerable populations’ (such as children, elderly, and disabled populations’) data was protected.
Relate how confidentiality and informed consent were implemented in the study.
State how long the data is to be kept.
Describe who has access to the data.
SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS
Your assignment must meet the following requirements:
Written communication: Communicate in a manner that is scholarly, professional, and respectful of the diversity, dignity, and integrity of others, consistent with the expectations for members of the human services field. Write comprehensibly to support fundamental ideas, in APA format, using correct grammar and mechanics.
APA guidelines: Follow current APA guidelines for style and formatting, using a title page and references page, and citing your sources properly in the body of your paper, with corresponding references on the references page.
Length: Write a minimum of 5 new pages for this assignment, for a running total of 8 pages (including the content from your previous assignment). This page total is not including the title page and references page. The content should be typed and double-spaced.
References: At least 5 references in total, including the 2 references from your previous assignment. Include peer-reviewed journals or other scholarly resources, assigned unit readings, and the like. In the total number of references, be sure to include your references for at least 2 similar organizational reports that used the same model of data reporting that was used in your chosen study.
Font and font size: Times New Roman, 12-point.
Riverbend city task force
Gerie Patel
Thank you so much for stopping by again!
I want to be clear that I’m proud of the work we’ve done on the homelessness task force, and I think we’re making a real difference. But I also feel like we’ve just been floundering around in the dark, and I can’t tell you how much I welcome the idea of someone putting some rigorous research into the situation.
We’ve had the luxury of being able to roll ahead with the project while being funded by a federal grant. But now we’re in the last year of the grant and, while I think that RCAC will be able to fund us from the unrestricted budget, it’ll probably be on a scale that’s smaller than what we’re accustomed to. So we’re probably going to need to figure out how to do more with a lot less. Or, really, figure out what we do that’s effective so that we can focus our efforts and funds in that direction.
But that gets tricky really fast. Like, it almost turns into a philosophical question. If we focus our efforts on homeless people with children, maybe we’re maximizing the good we do just by helping the largest number of people. But what if those cases are more resource-intensive? And doesn’t that mean by definition that we’re excluding other people–people without children, but people who definitely need help–from our efforts? I know that answering these tough questions is a part of human services leadership, but that doesn’t make it any easier or more fun to answer them.
One thing I think I see in our future is greater cooperation and coordination with other agencies. As things stand now, we try to keep as many of our functions in-house as possible. Although there’s always some outside element, like referring people to shelters for short-term housing. But we do our own low-cost apartment-search services, our own mental health counseling, our own addiction counseling, and our own job training and placement services. I don’t know if that’s sustainable for the long term. I guess that’s the question that just keeps recurring- how sustainable is everything we do going to be in a world where there’s less funding and the stream of it is less certain?
