I understand the comparison of the two situations. However, I feel as though in my line of work the options are different than in a medical professionals line of work. I work as a case worker for CPS. I work with families after their children have been removed from the home. A lot of what I do for these families are based on their needs, resources available, and court orders. While I do utilized strength based practice in the way I interact with these families and I often look back on Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs when dealing with the children. I would not say that I generally use any social work theories. I am not super versed on social work theories if I am being honest. Most of what I do is based on my experience, knowing the resou

In the case study entitled, Social Work Research: Measuring Group Success, a group of eight female sexual abuse and/or incest survivors were participants in a treatment group over the course of 12 weeks (Plummer, Makris, & Brocksen, 2014). The women were given a pretest and posttest administration of the Depression Anxiety Stress Scale (DASS) (Plummer, Makris, & Brocksen, 2014) and were exposed to therapeutic treatment over the course of the study. The descriptive statistics that may be used to analyze data are the pretest summed scores of all participants that show symptoms they are experiencing, such as: depression 210, anxiety 138, and stress 190; and the posttest summed scores of: depression 45, anxiety 45, and stress 61.

Identify the phenomenon you would measure and explain how you conceptualize this phenomenon.


The impact of older adults receiving intervention for their suffering from the ills of ageism.


I conceptualized this phenomenon by choosing the variables I would measure.


1.The two variables are, (the impact of receiving intervention or not receiving intervention) & 2. Their (suffering or not suffering from the ills of ageism).


The older adults who receive social work intervention for ageism, will be more productive in society then those older adults who dont receive intervention.


Provide at least 3 questions you would use to measure this phenomenon and explain how these questions operationalize the phenomenon.
