Assignment Description
Social justice problems may affect different populations

Assignment Description
Social justice problems may affect different populations in unique ways. Social workers must understand the special challenges that may arise when providing services and supports for these populations, as well as the policies that may address the social justice problems that impact them.
The purpose of this assignment is to explore a social justice problem that addresses a specific population or subgroup (for example, access to health care, access to social services, immigration, or veterans’ mental health and services). This should be a problem that presents current challenges for social workers providing services and support. You will need to investigate the various forms and mechanisms of oppression and discrimination within this social justice problem and identify policies that are currently enacted to address this problem. Ultimately, you will choose one of these policies as the topic for your policy analysis in the coming assignments in this course.
To ensure you choose a viable and scholarly topic, explore the literature in your area of interest by doing article and book searches through Capella library databases and other electronic resources, including government, educational, and organizational websites. Exploring scholarly, respected literature will be the preliminary work for this assignment. The United States Congress website—located in the Assignment ResourcesLinks to an external site. reading list—will be an invaluable resource for your research during this assignment if you are exploring a federal-level issue.

What ethical considerations in your selected social justice problem must be addressed?
What are implications for social work practice and positive client outcomes?
Describe the current enacted policies for this social justice problem.
Research current enacted policies that seek to address this social justice problem. Important:These policies must be passed legislation currently in practice. Legislation can be at the local, state, or federal level.
Analyze how effective these policies are in addressing the needs of your chosen population or subgroup.
Do the policies effectively address the social justice problem? Provide a rationale that includes scholarly, peer-reviewed research.
Assess the impact these policies have had on your selected population or subgroup.

Submit a 1-page paper analyzing the relationship between study design and statistical analysis used in the case study. 
Explain why you think that the agency created a plan to evaluate the program.
Explain why the social work agency chose to use a chi-square statistic to evaluate whether there is a difference between those who participated in the program and those who did not. (Hint: Think about the level of measurement of the variables.)
Describe the research design in terms of observations (O) and interventions (X) for each group.
Interpret the chi-square output data and provide support for your interpretation. (Hint: Review the value.) What do the data say about the program?
Use the Learning Resources to support your paper. Make sure to include appropriate APA citations and a reference list. 
Statistical analysis software such as SPSS is a valuable tool that helps researchers perform complex calculations. However, to use such a tool effectively, the study must be well designed. The social worker must understand the study’s purpose and select the most appropriate design. The social worker must correctly represent the relationship being examined and the variables involved. Finally, they must enter those variables correctly into the software package. 
In this Assignment, you analyze in detail the decisions made in the Chi-Square case study and the relationship between study design and statistical analysis.
Access the Social Work Case Studies media and navigate to the Chi-Square case study.  
As you again review the case, this time focus on the purpose of the evaluation, the choice of a chi-square statistic, and the research design. Consider what the statistical results indicate about the program.

Introduction
Treatment plans are part of direct practice in social work. After meeting with a family and completing an assessment, the social worker and family should agree on the family’s goals for treatment. The treatment plan identifies treatment goals and measurable steps to reach those goals, which are called objectives. There can be multiple objectives for each treatment goal. The social worker will also identify interventions that will be used to assist the family in reaching their goals. In practice settings, the family and social worker typically both sign the treatment plan. Treatment plans can be updated if diagnoses or presenting problems change during the course of treatment.
Assignment Instructions
For this assignment, you are to create a treatment plan for the Carl and His Parents (Word) case. Please review the Sample Treatment Plan (Word) to assist in completing the assignment.
Your treatment plan should include the following:
Identify one treatment goal for the family
Identify two treatment objectives
Identify two interventions based on the psychodynamic model, transgenerational model, or strategic model.
Note which theory each intervention is based on. The two interventions do not have to be from the same theory or model.
Assignment Requirements
Use the Treatment Plan form (Word) to complete your assignment.
No outside references are required.
APA formatting is not required.
Complete the information requested and save the document to your computer.

To summarize your innovative solutions and the critical analysis of existing literature, policy,
and interventions that informed them with the guidance of theory, this last chapter of your MCP
should include:

application of your chosen theory
 A discussion of the strengths and limitations of your final project including possible
implications of your innovative solutions on your target population including their risk
for experiencing the social problem and the ways in which the social problem manifests

research, policy, and practice
 A concluding paragraph with final project reflections.
Note: Chapter 6 is a  A thoughtful summary of the social issue, existing research, theoretical applications, policies, and interventions. Summary of one’s critical analyses of the social issue within research, policy, and practice including amendments, additions, and adaptations required to meet the needs of one’s target population.
