Weekly Discussion

/0 Comments/in /by

This is my weekly discussion on OUD among adolescents. For this discussion it needs to be on an Evidence Based Practice and how it relates to SUD among adolescents, hopefully you can find something that is leaning towards OUD among adolescents. Here is the directions she posted.

 

  In this weeks content application assignment, students will discuss:

  • What EBPs would be appropriate to apply to your selected topic area? and
  • How would you write a service plan to address your selected topic area?

PSY 260 Project Two Milestone

/0 Comments/in /by

Overview

You work for a market research company that supplies information for political non-profit organizations throughout the nation. A number of your clients are interested in the public perception of policies about sexual orientation.

For this milestone, you will create an action strategy for each research question below and then choose one research question to analyze in more detail for Project Two, due in Module Seven. You will be provided with one Excel file for this milestone in your Soomo webtext. Each tab in the Excel file contains a data set with different variables that correspond to one of the research questions. Note: The tab number does not necessarily correspond to the research question number, as identifying the data set that corresponds to each question is part of your task.

Research Questions

  1. Are there differences in the average agreement with gay individuals having the right to marry one another among people who were interviewed in different geographic regions of the United States?
  2. Are there differences in the average feelings of warmth toward liberals among people who were interviewed in different geographic regions of the United States?
  3. Is there a linear relationship between feelings toward liberals and beliefs regarding gay persons’ right to marry one another?
  4. Is there a linear relationship between feelings toward conservatives and beliefs regarding gay persons’ right to marry one another?

Prompt

You will use your webtext writing template to complete this milestone. Use the Excel file provided in your Soomo webtext. Specifically, you must address the following rubric criteria:

  1. For each research question:
  2. For one research question:

opioid use disorder & medically assisted treatment among adolescents

This is a SUD 250 class, which is Youth SUD Assessment Counseling. My paper is on OUD & medical assisted treatment among adolescents. For this paper it needs to be on the assessment process and tools used during pre-screening (which I will attach in additional material)and OUD and MAT among adolescents. We have discussion questions each week about things we learned in class, I will send these to you so you can use some of the things I would like added in the paper. You did the annotated bibliography for this research paper for me recently, that was done perfectly. Do you need me to send that or do you still have it? 

“Each week, students will complete an assignment that explores how the weekly content applies to the adolescent treatment related topic of the students choosing (OUD & MAT). This is not only a mechanism to assist students in the creation of their final paper, but an exercise in application of knowledge to practice.” This is what is written in our weekly discussion board. Also, would you like me to put my discussions from the past few weeks all on one google doc and send it to you?

Developing Your Research Question

When you were in elementary school, the most difficult task many of you may have faced was deciding what experiment to do for the science fair. In this week’s discussion, you are asked to formulate a research question and then convert that question into statistical language, including the null and alternative hypotheses.

For this discussion, please complete the following:

A. Develop a research question: In your area of interest, think about a research question that could be answered using a hypothesis test for a mean (watch the Unit 4 Discussion video in LiveBinder for examples). Write down this research question and explain what your research is trying to investigate. Clearly describe the population(s) you are studying and the variable you are measuring for each person (or thing) in your sample(s).

B. State the hypotheses: Using your research question, create the null hypothesis that will be tested and the alternative hypothesis. Be sure to use the symbols Ho for the null hypothesis and H1 for the alternative hypothesis. You can state your hypotheses verbally or symbolically.

Verbal example:

Ho: mean anxiety level for kids with ASD = mean anxiety level for kids without ASD

H1: mean anxiety level for kids with ASD ≠ mean anxiety level for kids without ASD

Symbolic example:

Ho: 𝜇1= 𝜇2

H1: 𝜇1≠ 𝜇2

where 𝜇1= mean anxiety level for kids with ASD,

and 𝜇2= mean anxiety level for kids without ASD.

Note: If you use a symbolic statement, you must define your parameter symbols (e.g., 𝜇1, 𝜇2).

C. One-tailed or two-tailed: Based on your research question, indicate whether you would conduct a one-tailed or two-tailed test. If you would conduct a one-tailed test, indicate which direction the test would be and explain why you chose that direction.

D. Expected conclusion: Think of a hypothetical p-value (must be between 0 and 1 since it is a probability, but it is fine to just invent a value here) and provide your expected decision (reject Ho or not) and conclusion from your hypothesis test based on this p-value. Your conclusion should explain what your decision means in the context of your research question.

Remember that your goal for discussion is to ensure:

  • Responses are on topic, original, and contribute to the quality of the discussion.

My area of interest is Forensic Psychology. The topic is the average life expectancy of a correction officer after retirement is 10+ years (hypothesis). H1: The average life expectancy f a correction officer after retirement is actually 5 years.
