Deanna Williams 2-1 Practice Activity: Identifying Research Questions SCS 285: Professor Lynne Barga March 8, 2024 SCENARIO ONE You are a social worker in an outpatient clinical setting. You receive referrals from juvenile court counselors (also known as probation officers) to provide clinical assessments and therapy for juveniles aged 12 to 17 suspected of having a mental illness such as depression and/or a substance use disorder. In your work over the last several years, you noticed that when a youth has been in treatment for several months, they tend to have fewer arrests for crimes. You are interested in conducting a research study about what is at the core of this outcome.  What is your research question? What are the chances that the juveniles who participate in these outpatient clinic settings help reduce the arrests among juveniles?  Why do you think this is the research question being asked? Because after reading this scenario, further discusses that juveniles between the ages of 12 and 17 who are among these outpatient clinics are not being arrested for the crimes they commit as often as they should. Once a juvenile enters an outpatient clinic setting, it Is not necessarily true that they will change their behavior. If the consequences of their actions don’t change their way of decision-making, then they are only aware of the consequences but will make it up in their mind that they will continue to break the law. SCENARIO TWO: You are a caseworker responsible for investigating child abuse and neglect reports in your city. After team meeting discussions with fellow caseworkers, you noticed that when the report caseloads are high (over 50 cases per worker), there tend to be more substantiated cases of abuse

before the caseworker can get involved in the initial case management after adjudication. It often takes one to two weeks before a caseworker can get involved in the case: This can be due to higher priorities among other cases, other caseworkers being out sick or on vacation, or the amount and type of paperwork involved. You are interested in knowing what can be improved to reduce the number of substantiated abuse cases and the time frame between report and actual involvement, which would minimize the likelihood of this abuse occurring.  What is your research question? Is it necessary to hire more help within the department to reduce the caseloads being handled so long?  Why do you think this is the research question being asked? To determine why the caseloads are taking so long to be handled, not knowing if the child is in danger and needs immediate assistance. But having more help with the cases, it can help so these cases won't get overlooked. SCENARIO THREE You are a health educator for your county’s public health department. You work with a team of nurses, social workers, dieticians, and other health educators to help reduce the rate of type 2 diabetes among adults who come to the clinic. You have often noticed that the children of parents who have recently been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes tend to be overweight. You are interested in how eating habits in the family may change after a parent with diabetes is educated on proper diet to reduce weight.  What is your research question? What can be done to make sure that the children in the family won’t have to experience diabetes, how can healthy eating habits be implemented into the family?  Why do you think this is the research question being asked? This question is being asked to make sure that the parents are doing everything possible to make sure the next generation won’t be exposed to unhealthy habits. SCENARIO FOUR: You are a county commissioner for your county: You are responsible for keeping your county safe from crime and serving as an ambassador for its citizens. While meeting with the mayor and your sheriff’s department and deputies, you were told that there has been an increase in human trafficking reports and arrests since the new interstate opened about six months ago. You want to know if there has been an increase in human trafficking happening among residents in your county, or if the increase is due to people traveling on the interstate and being caught while stopping in your county.  What is your research question? How has the new highway changed the rate of human trafficking?

 Why do you think this is the research question being asked? It has been reports and arrests that human trafficking has increased since the new interstate was built. Nevertheless, it does not automatically imply that when citizens enter the city, they are responsible for the human trafficking increase. So, the real question that should be asked is who is deemed responsible for human trafficking? SCENARIO FIVE: You work for your state’s Department of Health and Human Services and have ensured that one state psychiatric hospital’s patients are safely moved to the newly built state hospital, including its emergency room services. The old hospital will close once all patients are moved in the next month; the new hospital is two hours away.  What is your research question? What can be done to make sure that all patients are being transported safely so that their mental health is not triggered?  Why do you think this is the research question being asked? I believe this question is being asked based on the provided information so that these patients are transported safely and securely. It is also necessary that there is some kind of planned route to follow so that these patients are transported safely without harming or causing them to be in any danger, and there needs to be the necessary trained staff when transporting them to the new facility.
