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

HHS 460 Week 2 DQ 1
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.

Locating Resources (Ash)

Locating Resources. The

ability to locate and utilize
information relative to Health
and Human Services is an
important component of

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

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 3940 in the text).

in Research (Ash)

Ethics in Research.
Ethics plays an important
role in conducting of
research. While the
individual researcher is

a review process guided
by a code of ethics.
