Evaluation Of A Research Study

Our text illustrates that there are various populations within the homeless community. These people are homeless for different reasons, whether its voluntary or involuntarily. Runaways and Victims of

A study completed by Folsom (2005), shows a correlation between homelessness and untreated mental health issues in the United States. The research suggests that approximately one-third of the homeless population has a significant mental health diagnosis such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, or major depression. Mental health issues can impact anyone. However, those who remain untreated and have additional risk factors such as lower socioeconomic conditions or substance abuse issues are more likely to become homeless. The research also suggests that men have a higher rate of homelessness than women. In particular, African American men have a higher rate of homelessness than those from other ethnic backgrounds. Veterans are also at-risk for mental health issues that may lead to

The impact of divorce, battering, and other family disruptions in combination with economic insecurity and primary responsibility for their children lead many women towards homelessness. It is believed that half of all homeless women have been a victim of some form of domestic violence, based on self-reporting and observations of various programs staffers. (National Research Council, 1996). However, the numbers of homeless domestic violence victims may be underestimated because some victims are reluctant to self-report. Homeless women seldom view their abuse as their primary problem and may not reveal that they are victims. In some cases, if a woman reports that she is a victim of domestic violence, a homeless shelter may refuse to accept her for security reasons. Most shelters do not offer services to women unless they conform to the criteria that distinctly makes them part of the particular group the shelter program targets. Programs can be specifically geared towards battered, homeless women and have been a great success in dealing with the emotions of the situation.

Majority of homeless individual are women. They are at a greater risk than men because they are most likely to bear child-rearing responsibilities and are vulnerable to become victims of violence.

Homelessness in the United States can be ended, not just maintained. Allot of cities now have plans to eradicate homelessness. Homelessness and housing instability are large issues that afflict a diverse demographic such as: Families, youth, veterans, and chronically homeless single male adults. Ending homelessness may require specialized solutions that are specific to individual needs. Factors like these make defeating homelessness a difficult task. Although solutions exist for some of the demographics, such as housing for chronically homeless adults, scaling up best practices remains a challenge. For other subpopulations, such as transitional aged youth, evidence-based interventions need to be developed. In this paper we argue that ending homelessness is a Grand Challenge that is big, important, and compelling—one that the profession of social work should be adopt. Meeting this challenge will require a focused, organized response from social work researchers, clinicians, and policymakers. Ending homelessness will require innovation and interdisciplinary or cross-sector collaboration. Key words: Housing First, Permanent Supportive Housing, rapid re-housing, prevention, poverty. The notion that homelessness in the United States can be ended, rather than managed (Mangano, 2002; National Alliance to End Homelessness, 2012), represents a fundamental shift in expectations from the 1980s and ’90s. Since the early 2000s, researchers, policymakers, advocates,

The common profile of a homeless family is headed by a single mother, in her 20’s with an average of two children, of which one or both are under the age of six. Homeless mothers tend to be poorly educated, unemployed, and lacking the skills necessary to become employed. There is an equal representation of Caucasian (47%) and African American (47%) homeless mothers. These women commonly described their lives as ““… a remarkably constant stream of distressing and spirit-breaking encounters, beginning in early childhood …” including experiencing physical and/or sexual abuse, constant crisis, stress from persistent poverty, violence in the family and community, and isolation. Most of these women grew up homeless and spent their childhood in foster care making them distrustful of the system.

Women seems to be at a greater risk for sexual assaults in comparison to men. Kushel, Evans, Perry, Robertson & Moss (2003) research is prevalent to my capstone project mainly due to its support of the safety concerns that the homeless population reports due to their homelessness. These injuries (sexual and physical) increase the utilization of emergency rooms for their injuries due to victimization, poorer health, homicides and death. The Kushel et al., (2003) study supports that housing plays an important role in decreasing sexual assaults on women and physical assaults on men, women and transgendered

The research article I chose to analyze, Housing First Services for People who Are Homeless with Co-Occurring Serious Mental Illness and Substance Abuse, studied the outcomes of alcohol and substance abuse as well as participation in substance abuse and mental health treatment between people in housing first programs and treatment first programs in New York City. The two research questions asked were, “Are there group differences in alcohol and drug use at 48 months?” and “Are there group differences in participation in substance abuse and mental health treatment at 48 months?” (Padgett, Gulcur, & Tsemberis, 2006, p. 76). The purpose of this study was to find out

Homelessness is multifactorial and complex, complicated by social, political and structural factors. These factors provides some of the reasons why many people becomes homeless and whether they remained in their circumstance. However the issues that women faces in their life that lead them to become homeless is often severe, many are survival of daily struggles both in the past and present .Homeless women endure trauma victimisation and oppressions, as well as pain and loss from abusive relationship perpetuated by husband and spouse. Most research surrounding homeless women conducted in the U.K and USA, highlighted the extraordinarily high levels of abuse and victimization as key factors leading to women becoming homelessness (Watson,

Among the ten females that were surveyed, their age range from 20 to 68. Race varies from Caucasian, Black, Hispanic, and Indian. All women stated their socioeconomic status as middle class. Females that have their high school diplomas described homeless people as a person that is sad. Females that graduated from a certification program described homeless people as poor and related drugs to them. Females that have their Associates in Arts or Science described homeless people as dirty, have tragic experiences, and is in need of money. Last but not least, females that have their Master’s degree described homeless people as poor and hungry.

　　　In United States, homeless population was and still currently skyrocketing in the world. The only developed country in the world did not have a solution. However, Americans created the solutions that would help the reducing homeless population. In the recent study in New York, researchers concluded the new information regarding to homeless women. The evidence showed that,“our study of the experiences in the year after release of 476 adult women returning home from New York City jails shows that both populations have low employment rates and incomes and high rearrest rates”(Am J Public Health, 2005). Researchers wanted to discover and gather the new information because of “Although almost 90% of those in jail are adult males, this study focused on male adolescents and women because they are the fastest-growing

Yes. In the article, the aim of the research was to understand the experience of participants, their knowledge about type 2 diabetes, and the factors of medication adherence in Malaysia. According to Susan (2010), the five components of PICOT are population, issue, context, outcome, and time. According to Al-Qazaz et al (2011), the PICOT was presented by the researcher in the study were,

Two contemporary social problems of interest are transitional housing needs for homeless mothers and domestic violence in the African American community. Fischer (2000) wrote homeless families face the economic and personal challenges of sparse employment opportunities, child care and nutrition needs, compounded by the loss of adequate housing. Those with the greatest risk of being unemployed and of becoming long term welfare dependent are teen mothers (Fischer, 2000). In addition, depression and the loss of self-confidence are direct results of being homeless. Homelessness destroys self-esteem and promotes hopelessness.

As advancements are made in science and technology that relates to the care of patients, it is critical for nurses to be aware of the treatments that have been proven to be evidence-based. Systematic research reviews (SRR) are considered to have the highest ranking or level of evidence falling under level 1 evidence for reliability, validity, and least amount of error (Melnyk & Fineout-Overholt, 2015, p.607). The aim of this paper is to critique the chosen SRR related to core temperature obtainment in children, relevance of the research problem to nursing practice, rigor of the research found in the SRR to include levels of evidence and designs of included studies, the clarity of findings, summarized findings in the SRR, and the implications for practice.

There are number of things one should and should not do in a research-based presentation in the workforce. Number one, one should do in the research-based presentation is that the presenter should must have a clear appendix because that gives an outlook of the overall material of the presentation. The appendix can be in numbers or bullets however it must be readable and clear. In addition, there must be a logic behind all the appendixes. This is important because there will be a flow in the presentation which means one appendix leads to the other. For instance, I, myself disorganized the appendixes during my presentation. Two of my appendixes were the data from census, the third one was a case study and then I directly went to the scientific part about mindsets and how young population is effected by the stereotypes about gender and intelligence. I could have mentioned stereotypes and then how it effects children in young ages and then could have mention that we can do something about the gender gap in the STEM but have to take precautions in early period of time. Thus, Amazon can create a small organization which will help young girls to achieve their goals in math. After all this information I could have mentioned that case study about mindsets and would have some of the logic behind my appendixes. This shows that the research should have connection between the appendixes and the supporting statement of the researcher.
