Discussion 1 (a)How does a research study design relate to the results? This question should guide you during and after this week.

Specific types of designs have strengths and weaknesses regarding relationships between variables. The type of design can affect your confidence in results from different studies. Therefore, a greater understanding of social work experimental research procedures can contribute to practice effectiveness and improved treatment.

In this Discussion, you consider different types of research design and how they can impact the results of a study.

Post:

• Describe the different types of research design.
• Provide an example of a study that would control for all threats to internal validity and produce the most accurate results due to the study design.
• Explain how your colleagues’ chosen research design might either complement or be incompatible with your own attempts to find the most accurate results.
• Discussion (1b) Implemnetation
• Social workers advocate for clients at all levels: micro, mezzo, and macro. At all these levels, evidence is the guiding force to implement effective change. For example, at the level of social policy, evidence-based practice (EBP) will be utilized by practitioners attempting to advocate for policies that the best research available suggests are most likely to be achieved.Your goal as a social work researcher is to be able to adapt and implement the best evidence to your client’s needs.
• In the Discussion, you focus on the implementation of EBP.
  Post:
  • Based on the video, identify the evidence-based practice process from problem formation to research implications Dan Ariely describes. Then, respond to the following questions:
    • What are potential road blocks might you encounter when developing implications from results?
    • Who has the right intuition for interpreting research findings, the experimenter or the client/patient? 
• Identified a different road block and agree or disagree that this could be a potential problem. Support your answers from the readings.
