Q

Key informants

A

Expects in the community that can speak about the community

Positives: 
-Quick, easy 
-Builds connections with community 
Negatives: 
-Information does not come directly from target population
30
Q

Strengths and Weaknesses of Survey Research

A

Strengths:

  • Describes characteristics of large population
  • Makes large sample feasible
  • Makes findings more generalizable
  • Enables analysis of multiple variables

Weaknesses:

  • Lack of context
  • Inflexibility in design
  • Artificiality
31
Q

External Validity

A

The extent to which we can generalize the findings to settings and populations beyond the study conditions

Pros: if good it can be applied to other places or other ppl

Cons: It can apply to other fields; Generalized findings

32
Q

Internal Validity

A

the extent to which causal inferences can be made about the intervention & the targeted behavior

“Can we say x caused y?”

For the conclusion to be valid the independent variable must be the only thing that causes the dependent variable

To have a good internal validity you must have a control group

Is there confidence in cause/effect?

33
Q

Ethnography

A

Observation in the natural environment, focusing on detailed and accurate descriptions of the way people in a particular culture live and the way they interpret the meaning of things

Observing culture/behaviors

34
Q

Phenomenology

A

By going directly to the phenomenon under study and observing it as completely as possible researches can develop a deeper understanding

35
Q

Case studies

A

Idiographic examinations of a single individual, family, group, organization, community, or society

36
Q

Quantitative Method

A

Numbers/ Data

The goal is to understand

37
Q

Qualitative Method

A

Observations; Interviews

  • time conmsuming
  • smaller samples
38
Q

Mixed method

A

Both Quantitative and Qualitative

39
Q

Paradigms

A

Are a set of philosophical assumptions about the nature of reality

They organize our observations and make sense of them

40
Q

What is a sample?

A

A subset of the population selected y either “probability” or “non-probably”

41
Q

Probability Sampling

A

RANDOM- there is an equal chance of getting selected

Avoids bias

Simple random sampling
Systematic random sampling
Stratified random sampling

42
Q

Mission statement

A

statement outlining the purpose guiding the practices of an organization

43
Q

Goals

A

Broad general statement of what the program intends to accomplish

44
Q

Objectives

A

Brief, clear statement that describes the desired outcome

45
Q

Outcomes

A

Achieved results

46
Q

Needs assessment

A

Process of asking?’s , comparing answers, making decisions about what to do to improve human conditions & performance

Systematic process for determining & addressing gaps between current & desired conditions

EX: examines strengths/ weaknesses

47
Q

Perceived needs

A

what clients think about their needs w/ standards set y each client

48
Q

Expressed needs

A

Defined by the # of clients who have sought help; taking action to address their problem

49
Q

Relative needs

A

Concerned w/ equity, comparing needs of clients w/ goals of ranking them

50
Q

Cost- benefit analysis

A

Determines financial cost of operating a program compared w/ fiscal benefits

51
Q

Cost-benefit ratio

A

Determine whether the cost exceed the benefit

52
Q

A

not measured in monetary terms

-Does not produce cost benefit ratio

53
Q

A

Determining whether a program has achieved its intended goal

54
Q

SOAP format

A

S: Subjective -report how CL is doing, feeling, experiences

O: Objective- current situation EX: failing school

A: Assessment - pull togehter objective & subjective- consequences

P: Plan- What will be done as a consequence of assessment

55
Q

Function of research design

A

to ensure that the evidence or data collected enables the research questions to be answered

56
Q

Research design will…

A
  1. Identify the problem
  2. review literature
  3. Specify hypotheses
  4. Describe data that will be necessary; How data will be obtained
  5. describe methods of analysis- hypotheses true or false?
57
Q

Experimental research

A

Randomized experiment

- most rigorous

58
Q

Quasi-experimental research

A

Uses intervention & comparison groups

-NOT random

59
Q

Pre-experimental research

A
  • Intervention groups ONLY
  • Lack comparison/ control groups
  • The weakest!!
60
Q

Single subject research

A

Aims to determine whether an intervention has the intended impact on a CL or CL’s who form a group

  • tends to have poor external validity. limiting the ability to generalize findings to a wider audience
  • Common research pre & post/ single case study
61
Q

Single Case Study (AB) What are the A and B

A

A- Baseline- behavior before treatment

B- Behavior after treatment; intervetion

62
Q

Reversal research (ABA)

A

Baseline -A
Treatment -B
Baseline- A

63
Q

Multiple baseline (ABAB)

A

A- Baseline
B- Intervention
A- Baseline
B- Intervention

64
Q

Interrater or Interobserver Reliability

A

The degree to which different rates/ observers give consistent estimates of the same phenomenon

65
Q

Test-retest reliability

A

Consistency of a measure from one time to another

66
Q

Parallel forms reliability

A

Consistency of results of 2 tests constructed in the same way from the same content domain

67
Q

Internal consistency reliability

A

Consistency of results across items within a test

68
Q

Face validity

A

Whether the assessment “on their face” measures the constructs

69
Q

Content Validity

A

Whether all of the relevant content domains are covered

70
Q

Criterion-related validity

A

Whether constructs perform as anticipated in relation to other theoretical constructs

71
Q
