Biopsychosocial Summary Report

If you are new to this: the biopsychosocial form is what you use during your interview, and the biopsychosocial report is your own summary of information, from the form, written for your case.

Biopsychosocial forms: Your form must contain (or you must modify it to contain) the following sections: presenting problem, history of problem, developmental/medical history, family history, educational/social history, special considerations, mental status and client’s strengths, clinical findings, diagnostic impressions, and tentative treatment recommendations. When submitting your genogram add it to your biopsychosocial form that you have already completed and submitted. 

After completing your interview, use the biopsychosocial form and write up a biopsychosocial summary report which will become a 10 page summary report. You can reference it in your PowerPoint presentation where you think it is needed to make a point. Upload the biopsychosocial form into the appendix of the summary report. Do not include a link; again, the forms must be uploaded into an appendix.

 

Genogram Report

Please draw or include a genogram generated from a graphic program that would best fit your case used in the Biopsychosocial. You can reference it in your PowerPoint presentation where you think it is needed to make a point. The genogram should includethree generations of relevant information. The genogram should be scanned and uploaded into the appendix of your narrative paper. Do not include a link; again, the forms must be uploaded into an appendix. Again, the genogram form does not count toward the narrative paper 10 pages.  The narrative is just the biopsychosocial you previously submitted.  

 

Case Study Paper

Students are required to complete a paper on a specific child and adolescent diagnosis. The purpose of this assignment is for students to develop a clinical diagnosis and treatment plan in a case report. This is exactly what you will be doing on your own one day very soon. The paper should be 10 typewritten double-spaced pages.  The body of this paper should consist of the diagnosis you gave the interviewee that is consistent with the findings in the biopsychosocial for your specific interviewee, and your tentative treatment recommendationsDiscussion of diagnosis, differential diagnosis and tentative treatment recommendations will become the remaining 10 pages that complete your paper. The paper must follow APA style guidelines.

Submit this via assignment link for each respective Assignment in Blackboard.

PowerPoint Presentation

The PP presentation is directly related as a matter of fact it is the summary of each of the previous assignments put together. The PP presentation must contain 10 slides plus an appendix. Your introduction slide (very first slide) is not counted as part of the 10 slide body. At the end of the 10 slide body you will insert an appendix section which will contain the consent form(s). These documents are a fundamental part of your presentation. Upload them into your PP. Do not give me a link to either of them.  They do not count toward the 10 slide body.

The 10 slide body will contain the following:

a. Demographic Information

What are the names (first name only) ages, and birth order of all family/couple members?

· What are the occupations and education levels of all family/couple members (where appropriate)?

Assessment Instructions

Note: Do not complete this assessment until you have received faculty feedback on Assessment 1.

Define your data collection strategy, which includes developing survey questions. To allow you to focus your time and effort on the actual survey tool and analysis, this course uses a software program to provide the data. Using technology to generate survey data causes hypothetical restrictions in your survey design. As a result, the number and type of questions you write for your survey must follow the Data Collection Template (linked in the Resources under the Required Resources heading) for this assessment.

Note: After you submit your survey questions, your instructor will provide feedback on them. When you receive feedback, you can proceed with data collection using the Survey Data Generator in Assessment 3.

Directions

Develop six questions for your survey. Keep in mind that you will not be conducting the survey by mailing or e-mailing questionnaires. Your survey responses will be determined by an electronic survey generator, which accepts only certain types of questions; therefore, the types of questions you can ask for this assessment are very specific and must adhere to the guidelines listed below. In the future, as you design surveys to solve problems or answer key questions in your professional life, you will likely draw from a broader range of question types.

Guidelines for the Questions
  • All six survey questions should be stated in question form. They should be written like they are being asked directly to a survey participant. For example, you would ask “How many cats do you own?” rather than stating “The number of cats owned.”
  • The first four questions (1–4) must be binary—that is, they have only two possible responses. Examples of this are yes/notrue/false, and male/female (to name a few).
  • The last two questions (5 and 6) must be quantitative. These questions have to elicit a single numeric response. Survey participants can respond with only one number.
  • There are certain types of questions that are not within the parameters of the project. The following types of questions cannot be asked:
    • Do not ask questions where survey participants have to explain something. This includes short answer and fill-in-the-blank questions.
    • Do not use a Likert scale. That is where a participant would choose from responses such as strongly agreeagreeneutraldisagree, and strongly disagree.
    • Avoid questions where a participant chooses a number on a scale, such as 1 to 10 or 1 to 5.
    • Do not ask any questions that are contingent on another question. Each question must have a stand-alone response.
    • Do not ask questions that have already been answered by how you have defined your population. For example, if your population includes only males, do not ask “Are you male or female?”
Guidelines for the Minimum and the Maximum of the Questions

The minimum is the lowest number that you think a participant can or will respond with. The maximum value is the largest value that you think a participant can or will respond with. To determine these values, make an educated estimate based on your population and the research you have conducted on the issue. For example, if we are surveying Capella students, we might ask “What is your age?” In this situation, a minimum age might be 16, and a maximum age might be 85. Note that it is possible to be outside these ranges. The minimum and the maximum are approximations, or likely ranges, of what you expect.

  • Your binary questions will not have a minimum or a maximum.
  • Your will need to set a minimum and a maximum for each of the quantitative questions.
  • The minimum and the maximum are each one single number.
Guidelines for the Expected Values for Typical Responses to the Questions

The typical responses will help the program that generates your hypothetical data produce more realistic participant responses based on your knowledge of the issue you are studying. The typical response will fall between the minimum and the maximum. It is the value you think will be the most common response from a survey participant. Base the typical response on your knowledge of what you are surveying and the research you have conducted on the issue.

  • You will not need to fill in a typical response for questions 1 through 4.
  • The typical responses for the quantitative questions should be what you think the mean (average) of all the responses will be.
  • The typical response is one single number.
Defining Your Data Collection Strategy
  • Use the Data Collection Template (linked in the Resources under the Required Resources heading) to define your strategy.
  • Include the following items in your strategy:
    • Your target population for the survey.
    • Your sampling strategy and how you would attempt to conduct your survey. Be sure to include some rationale for your strategy and any potential issues that might affect your survey results.
    • Your six survey questions following the guidelines presented above. Be sure to document the expected value along with a reasonable minimum value and maximum value in the table, as you will use these pre-survey values in later project components.
  • In Table 1 of the Data Collection Template, fill in every box that says “you fill in” and then remove that message once you have done this. Your final product should have a response in every box; there should be no empty boxes in the table.
