Bullying and disordered eating (MSW student)

For this assignment, you will choose a topic related to social work. Your topic needs to be specific enough to target your literature search and recommendations. Your topic should consist of a minimum of three components: a social problem or phenomena, a particular population impacted by it, and a type of intervention (such as a policy, practice, or program) to address it. Example: Transitional living programs (intervention) to address homelessness (social problem) among youth (a population). Areas on which there is already a great deal of research may require further refinement, such as group therapy (intervention) to address depression (social problem) among homeless youth (population).

Abstract (1/2 page) Abstracts are typically written last and are a general summary of your paper. It is included after your title page, before your introduction. Include the following: a concise summary of the key points of your paper, including your literature review topic, major findings, the further research you will recommend. Your abstract should be a single paragraph, written in 150-250 words and double spaced.

 

Chapter 1: Background and Significance (about 3 pages). 1. Provide a discussion that introduces the topic. Include a brief summary as to why this topic is worth investigating, such as its prevalence in society, recent growth or attention, or a compelling individual case account. Conclude the introduction by telling readers what they can expect by reading the rest of the paper. 2. Background of the Topic a. Provide an explicit statement of the social problem and population. b. Then, using peer reviewed research, describe the background of the problem or issue and briefly describe what is known and what might not be known (or needs to be known) about this topic. c. Provide brief statistics or citations to illustrate the incidence of the problem and the population. d. Introduce the intervention and how it is relevant to the problem and population. 3. Significance of the Topic (to Social Work). This final section of chapter 1 answers the question, “How will gaining knowledge about this topic advance social work practice, programs, and/or policy?” a. Discuss how this problem area affects individuals, families, groups, organizations, and communities. b. Why is this topic important? 27 c. How can knowledge about this topic be used to inform policy and practice?

 

Chapter 2: Literature Review (about 5-7 pages). The literature review synthesizes knowledge of what has already been done in the field around this topic. The literature review is a component of most scholarly writing. Here, you will review and discuss the literature on the chosen topic. A literature review should build on an annotated bibliography to present a more in-depth exploration of the topic through a careful analysis, evaluation, integration and synthesis of the existing body of knowledge. This literature review is where you will demonstrate your achievement of the following learning outcome: The student will demonstrate understanding that evidence that informs practice derives from multidisciplinary sources and multiple ways of knowing. 1. Provide a synthesis of professional (peer reviewed, empirical) literature related to your topic. a. What are the findings? b. What are the major gaps in the knowledge base on this topic? 2. Social Work Theory. a. Identify at least one social work theory, and its concepts, that is relevant to your topic. b. How does this theory help social workers understand this topic? 3. Utilize research from social work and from at least one other discipline as well. 4. Utilize at least one article representing quantitative research and at least one article representing qualitative research. a. Explain how the qualitative and quantitative literature complement one another in helping you to understand your topic. b. Evaluate the balance of quantitative and qualitative research in this area—are either over- or under-represented? Describe the implication of any imbalances for how we understand this topic. 5. The final paragraph of your literature review should be a brief summary with an introduction to your recommendations section.

 

Chapter 3: Recommendations (about 3-5 pages). 1. Recommend an expansion or improvement to existing interventions to address your topic. You might recommend an evidenced based clinical tool, expanding services to new locations or populations, a staff training, or a change in policy at the agency, local, state, or federal level. Describe how this change could be carried out. In other words, what should be done, and how could it be done? All students should address how their proposed change is culturally sensitive to the needs of their population. Explain your reasons for proposing this change based on the literature that you reviewed. 2. Describe how you would evaluate the change you are proposing. How would you know if it was successful? Describe briefly the type of research design you would use to evaluate the proposed change, including the following points. This section where you will demonstrate your achievement of the following learning outcome: The student demonstrates knowledge of principles of logic and scientific inquiry, and culturally informed and ethical approaches to building knowledge. a. Describe your sampling strategy, how you would select a sample to represent the population of interest, and the benefits and limitation of that choice 28 b. Describe your instrumentation, how you would select or develop one or more instruments that are reliable and valid, and the benefits and limitation of that choice c. Explain how you would ensure that your plan would reflect culturally informed and ethical approaches to evaluation, including how you plan to protect human subjects of research from risks of harm associated with any research study d. Address the limitations of your evaluation strategy.

 

Chapter 4: Conclusions (about 1 page). Summarize your paper thoroughly and convince the reader why it is important and what it will contribute to social work knowledge and practice, and to the wellbeing of impacted populations. This is where you will demonstrate your achievement of the following learning outcome: The student demonstrates understanding of the processes for translating research findings into effective practice.
