HHS 460 Week 1 DQ 1 Research Presentation (Ash)
Research Presentation. Assume you are asked to
present a half hour talk about research in human
services. Since this could cover a vast number of
concepts, you decide to illustrate a basic
research process (steps) and provide a real-world
example taken from your text. One example is
Research in Practice 10.2 (pp. 273) and the
second example is Research in Practice 9.2 (pp.
246). Explanations as to the rational for using a
scientific research method compared to just
providing a theoretical explanation would make
the presentation more valid.

HHS 460 Week 1 DQ 2 Intake Process (Ash)
Intake Process. Often when providing services,
basic intake information is required. The
researcher could, at the end of a given time
period, examine these intake papers and, based on
some need, compute descriptive statistics using
information provided by the clients /
participants. Information such as income, family
make up, and education levels could be used to
compute mean values. However, you may be asked to
configure a study that can be called
experimental.

HHS 460 Week 2 DQ 2 Research Venues (Ash)
Research Venues. Research can be divided into
three broad areas descriptive, qualitative, and
quantitative. Some researchers subsume
descriptive research (archival) as quantitative.
However, for this discussion, we are considering
it a separate kind, as descriptive research can
fall into either area qualitative or
quantitative. Your assignment for this discussion
is to prepare a 250-300 word post differentiating
qualitative, quantitative, and analysis of
availability data. Identify those attributes that
form the essence of these three research venues.
Respond to at least two of your classmates
postings.

HHS 460 Week 3 DQ 1 Canadian National Health Plan
(Ash)
Canadian National Health Plan. Research can vary
from highly sophisticated experimental studies to
less rigorous short term investigations. Each
research approach has advantages and
disadvantages. Among the different paradigms you
could use, two of the more common are the
positivist approach and the interpretive
approach (consult pages 39-40 in the text). If
you were interested in determining if the
Canadian National Health Plan was better
(better in terms of care, coverage, and choice of
doctors) then the current United States Health
Coverage Plan (Obama sponsored), which approach
would you choose to make this determination?

HHS 460 Week 3 DQ 2 Research Formats (Ash)
Research Formats. The research format found in
scholarly journal articles has purpose and
direction. Chapters 2 and 4 in the text provide
information as to the logic and makeup of a
research effort. Parallel to the structure of the
research format is the notion of the scientific
method as a basic approach to solving problems.
Your task is to analyze these two venues,
identifying in what ways they complement each
other, and how each venue is related to the
other. You may want to access outside references
regarding the concepts of research format and the
scientific method. Respond to at least two of
your classmates postings.

HHS 460 Week 4 DQ 1 Careers in HHS (Ash)
Careers in HHS. The great variety of careers and
occupations within the field of HHS is growing
every year. A review of some of the data bases in

Human Services website will result in finding
many careers such as social workers, preschool
programs, criminal justice, counseling,
gerontology, and drug and alcohol treatment.

HHS 460 Week 4 DQ 2 Research in Practice (Ash)
Research in Practice. Qualitative research in the
past 30 years has increasingly been viewed as
making an important contribution to research and
evaluation. For this discussion, you are asked to
read two Research in Practice articles in the
text. Evaluate and synthesize the contribution
qualitative researched played with regard to
Research in Practice (5.1, pp. 110) and Research
in Practice (12.2, p 338). Your work should
clearly identify the importance of using
qualitative methods and explain in what ways
these methods helped the studies. Respond to two
of your classmates postings

HHS 460 Week 5 DQ 1 Ethics in Research (Ash)
Ethics in Research. Ethics plays an important
role in conducting of research. While the
individual researcher is responsible for his/her
ethical practice, any research sponsored by an
organization, university, or government program
has a review process guided by a code of ethics.
Besides the code of ethics, the Institutional
Review Board (IRB) plays an important role in
monitoring research. Your task in this discussion
is to examine the origins of the IRB and analyze
how the Review Board guides or monitors research.
