Annotated Bibliography Assignment
Instructions:
Each student must identify a social problem relevant to social work practice, such as child abuse, drug abuse, dementia, PTSD, depression, teen pregnancy, etc. How to solve the problem? You may find a lot of evidence. In assignment 1, each student will then develop a comprehensive annotated bibliography on the chosen topic—to solve the problem. The annotated bibliography should consider the quality of the evidence (paper) for the selected intervention. The paper can be qualitative, quantitative, or mixed-method.
Please write a paper integrate the answers to those questions.
- How many articles have you found to support this selected intervention? What databases have you searched? What type of searching strategies did you use? (The professional peer-reviewed journals should either be from social work or closely related disciplines. The remainder of the resources can be drawn from professional peer-reviewed journals, books, and reliable internet sources.) (2 points)
- Select 1 article that you think represent the articles or sources with the “best available evidence†that you could find that are relevant to the selected problem and intervention. Read the paper you found to represent the best available evidence and analyze them following those steps.
- Purpose or goal of the study (2 points)
- Research questions or hypotheses (2 points)
- Evaluate the research methods of the article: Measurement (description of key variables and measurement/operationalization), and identifying the variables. Variables- measures including reliability and validity of scales used (If they are mentioned in the article). (3 points)
- Is it qualitative or quantitative? (1 point)
- Research Design Summarize key research methods used in each research. (e.g; experimental, quasi-experimental, survey, interview, self-report, etc.) (1 point)
- sampling, (e.g., same size, recruitment methods, any issues related to human subjects research?) and how closely the sample reflects your clients (1 point)
- Data Collection Procedures. (3 points)
- Results- notable findings that support an intervention. (2 points)
- What is the limitations and strength of the evidence? How does the research design and limitations of the study affect the findings? (2 points)
The article should be cited in APA format and followed by one paragraph that briefly describes the contents of the sources (1 point)
This assignment should be double spaced, no less than three pages. Please use Times New Roman, 12-point. APA style is REQUIRED for assignment 1.
I attached the writing sample: the paper (I highlight the related details from page 7) and analysis for that paper. Don’t use the same paper as what I used in the writing sample.
Don’t find a paper that is meta-analysis or systematic review
Please find a research paper that is an evaluation of the intervention. Don’t find a paper that examines the relations among different factors, such as the relationship between parenting style and children’s mental health.
You are going to analyze one paper, NOT three!!!!!!
