Data Collection And Analysis : Analysis

A clinical assessment is then conducted for treatment needs. Different treatment plans are made for each client. Individualized treatment plans are used to make referrals and they are updated periodically.”

Within these two categories there are different options in regards to risk and return levels, both of which run parallel to each other meaning the higher the risk the higher the rate of return. The below graph (Figure 3) shows the average one year return for each of the investment strategies.

Assertive Community Treatment (ACT) is a mobile out-reach treatment model for adults who suffer from mental health illness. A community based, individualistic support program, ACT is designed provide the same type of support and treatment a patient would find in a clinic (McAuliffe. W. E., 1990). The program considers circumstances of why an individual became homeless and aims to provide mental health care along with vocational training to find a job and stable housing (McAuliffe. W. E., 1990). ACT is based on the health belief model of behavior change. The stages of behavior change are employed by counseling sessions that address mental health symptoms and encourage self-efficacy through coping skills and job training.

The purpose of the article is to identify a clinical approach and challenges around the transition from assertive community treatment to less intensive services. According to the article, the data used was collected from four focused group which includes client/clinical, family and natural supports, assertive community treatment staff and team, and public mental health system. In order to identify the challenges several factors were considered in the process, the belief that clients and families would not want to terminate services (due to loss of relationships, fear of failure, preference for ACT model), clinical concerns that transition would not be successful (due to limited client skills, relapse without ACT support), systems challenges

Participants will visit the doctor every 3 months for 12 months (for a total of 5 visits). During the baseline visit, participants will be enrolled into the study, will get their first blood sample drawn and will be randomly assigned to one of the two groups (either receiving CBT or not receiving this type of intervention). All of the participants will also receive a blood glucose monitor at this visit. All of the participants will receive diabetes and depression medication and will be seen by a primary doctor for a clinical exam and by a psychiatrist. Patients will answer a Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ9) which will measure the severity of depression and will fill out a survey that will ask about their demographic information such as age, height, weight, marital status, educational level, employment status, number of years living in the United Sates, language fluency levels, and number of children. Participants will also fill out a lifestyle questionnaire about alcohol use, illegal drug use, smoking and history of cardiovascular diseases. For the participants assigned to receive CBT, they will start receiving CBT session one week after becoming enrolled in the study. They will receive weekly 60 minute CBT sessions for 15 weeks (combining group and individual

The data are collected from observation of over 100 patients’ visits, 50 of which were observed and audio taped. The research questions that are asked by Davidson are:

As I spent the first week in collecting data, it is time to analyse the collected data in the second week of my professional work placement. Data analysis method is a way to organize and map my collected data in a pattern that could be interpreted (Bell, 2010). It should be able to assist me finding answers for my research question by asking myself, “Did my data analysis add new concepts and practices about the inclusive education, or open the gate for a more questions? Is it taking me to the next step in my research cycle?

The behavior was observed from a large sample of people. This included twenty people shopping alone and twenty people shopping in a group, for a total of forty subjects, each ranging in ages from approximately 19 to 40 years old. The subjects were observed from the time they entered the store until the time they left. The reasoning behind this was to see the buying behavior differences for the whole experience and figure out which areas of the store could be improved in order to appeal to groups of people shopping. The behaviors observed included the amount of time spent inside the store, the amount of money spent, the interactions with associates, and the areas of the stores that were navigated.

Research used in this study involved both qualitative and quantitative aspects, as we collected quality thoughts along with additional data used for statistical analysis. The survey method was the ideal data collection strategy for our analysis because it allowed us to gather information that answered CBG’s questions while ensuring DAI’s specific inquiries were being answered. Once the information was collected, each of the clients’ responses were compared and graphed to present the information in a graphic manner. In order to conduct the surveys, members of the client list were contacted via telephone. We anticipated that a problem might arise while scheduling interview times with clients. Thus, our survey was formatted to be easily answered in person or over the phone, which allowed us to work around the clients’ time constraints.

Data Transformation are often very complex and is the most costly section of the ETL process. Transformations are often achieved outside the database using flat files, but mostly occurs within an Oracle database. The transform step applies rules or functions to the extracted data. These rules or functions will decide on the analysis of data and can involve transformations like the following:

In order to provide the Australia Park Victoria with the appropriate data to solve its current crisis, the most appropriate method of data collection for this research is the qualitative method. According to Gay and Airasian (p 627) qualitative method is the collection of extensive data on various variables over a long time in a natural setting with an aim of acquiring insights not possible using other methods. It involves three different kinds of information collection: direct observation, in depth and open-ended interviews and written documents. Qualitative method involves use of random sampling and structured data collection instruments that fit different experiences. The method also enables the researcher to study the specific area of

The research methodology that was used is a descriptive research format. First twenty-five scholarly sources were read, analysed, and annotated. Then, an interviewed was conducted with Dr. Eileen Appelbaum, who is an expert on paid family and medical leave policies in the United States. The main data collection method was through meta-analysis. Four scholarly journals were reviewed and analysed in order to come to synthesizing conclusions that support the thesis. The interview with Dr. Appelbaum allowed for a deeper understand how paid leave is implemented at the state level, the meta-analysis of the journals enabled the researcher to draw conclusions from the research and conclusions of other related studies.

Because quantitative research is decided as the research strategy, data collection seems to be key factor. Survey is the traditional way to collect the data (Vogt, 2010). In order to collect the quantitative data, questionnaire is considered as one of the most effective ways to make the survey that is defined as a set of questions, the main function of which is to collect the relevant data or information from individuals (Mukherjee, 1995). Self-completion questionnaire is a type of the questionnaire, which offers a steady way for the respondents to answer the questions, as a result of which, the collected data will usually be correct and it will provide the enough data support to test the hypothesis of the research (Hill, Brierley & MacDougall, 2003). Thus, the self-completion type is determined as the major type of the questionnaire, which will be utilized in this research project. Because Chinese consumers’ behavior is required to be analyzed, the questionnaire will be put on the Internet platform and mainly relies on Chinese “Weibo” and “Wecat” both of which are the famous online communication platforms in China and can be seen as western “Facebook”. At the same time, it will be an easier and faster way to get Chinese respondents’ answers from these two platforms that is one reason why questionnaire is used and these platforms are depended. Another reason is that questionnaire can widen the numbers of the respondents through utilizing of the

Data collection will be a combination of qualitative and quantitative. It is important to use a combination of both because it will provide more information about application of the study and how future research should be conducted. Before the semester meeting with professors of the ALI program at UMKC to seek permission to begin the study is vital. Meeting early on also begins to form strong communication which is necessary to ensure that assignments and ways of incorporating Facebook in the classroom are different from previous studies. There will be one introductory session with each of the four courses composed of 30 or so students, collectively there will be about 120 students involved in this study. Students will not be informed on the purpose of the study, only that their progress in English will be tracked. Information will be collection from the students that wish to participate such as demographic and contact information, as well as how comfortable they feel with their English. The rest of the surveys throughout the course of the semester will be sent via email. Professors will be making notes of progress or possible problems and at the end of the study they will share how Facebook impacted ELLs’ motivation to learn English, if it did at all.

The observer may participate in the activities of the group being studied (participant observation) or he may just be a bystander (nonparticipant observation). When an observation is done in a laboratory, as in the case of experimental studies, the type of observation is called controlled observation.
