Step 1: Problem Formulation: Due 2/28/2024
Think of a client or client system you are currently working with or recently worked with. You can choose a client from your practicum either in the current or previous year or from your employment-based work in human services. If you do not have a specific client/client system in mind, alternatively, you may conceptualize a social problem area or community-level issue/need that you would be capable of assessing and addressing in the context of your current or future social work practice.
Briefly (no more than one page) provide relevant background and current information about your client/ client system and the problem with which they present. If you are proceeding by describing a social problem area or community-level need, introduce specific context with regard to the problem you have identified. Focus on a CONCISE identification of characteristics, background information and/or presenting issues.
Formulate a researchable EIP question related to that client or client system’s situation, using the EIP practice process you are learning in this course. The question you pose must be answerable, and sufficiently narrow to be helpful to your work with the client system you propose. Please state your EIP question clearly in the paper.
Explain how knowing the answer to your proposed EIP question can inform your practice regarding the client, client system, or problem area you have identified. What are you choosing to highlight that you wish to know better in order to guide your practice? How do you anticipate that the knowledge you seek can potentially inform/guide your work with this client? Be sure to present a clear rationale for your decisions and use relevant literature to inform and support your rationale.
It is expected to be up to three pages of writing, double-spaced, 12 font. This page guideline does not include an additional reference page applying APA guidelines as applicable.
I work at child protective services I work with youth aging out of care so about 18-21 year olds , if you can base the paper off of that. Propose a new EIP question please. I will attach pictures.

As a future Social Worker, what other methods could help disseminate information to the local public about the available resources.
For example: As a Social Worker I am aware that many Low-income families may not have enough financial resources to have internet at home or may have inadequate internet service. Some rural areas have poor signal thus it creates a challenge to search the web. A potential solution would be for me to create flyers and disseminate them to local areas such as in local schools or parent meetings and community centers. [delete this example and provide your own]

Read each question and. answer the questions below. Please keep each question with the scenario.
You are an intern at a non-profit humanitarian agency this summer, and in addition to your normal tasks, you must complete a design analysis on a topic relevant to the organization and your social work curriculum. In other words, you will describe how a study in your topic would be approached. Suppose you are interested in studying issues in refugee resettlement.
1. Show how a specific topic in this area would be researched using a cross-sectional design.
2. How would you use a panel design to address the same issue?
You are working for a federal employment agency and are interested in studying issues related to the effects of long-term unemployment on adults between 50 and 65 years of age. Your research question is, “What are the effects of long-term unemployment on older individuals and their families?” How would you approach your study?
1. State at least two hypotheses you could derive from the question.
2. How would you use a panel design to address the same issue?
Suppose you are a social worker with an agency that provides supported housing and employment for individuals with cognitive disabilities. It bothers you that, although family members, employers, and staff are systematically surveyed to assess their satisfaction with services, there is no attempt to systematically collect satisfaction data from clients. Your initial interest is in assessing the satisfaction of clients in the supported employment program and you consider modifying traditional workplace and service satisfaction scales.
1. What are some reasons you might expect to find problems of reliability in the scales when you try them out with supported employment clients? Identify three ways you might assess three different types of reliability regarding the scales.
2. How might you assess the validity of the scales with your clients?
uppose you work for an agency that provides service dogs to veterans with service-related disabilities. The dogs are trained for the needs of each individual veteran and learn specific tasks, including mobility assistance (e.g., pulling wheelchairs, assisting with balance, and helping those with vision impairments), alerting to imminent health events (e.g., seizures, flashbacks), and assisting with other needs. You have been asked to create a survey that will be used twice: first, when veterans initially apply, asking what they want the dog to do, and then again, after they have actually had the dog for a month, asking how the dog is performing the tasks. Clients will be asked to indicate how much they agree with each statement on a scale of 1 (disagree completely) to 5 (agree completely). The questions are as follows:
Q# QUESTION ON APPLICATION QUESTION AFTER RECEIPT OF DOG
1 I need help with activities of daily living. My dog helps me with activities of daily living.
2 I need help with instrumental activities of daily living. My dog helps me with instrumental activities of daily living.
3 I need help getting around. My dog helps me get around.
4 I do not feel safe. My dog helps me feel safe.
5 I worry my disability may get worse. My dog has relieved my worries that my disability will get worse.
6 My life is not good as it is. My life is good with my dog.
1. Review each of the questions and identify the problems with them.
2.Propose an alternative, more methodologically sound approach to collecting the needed information.
