ACTION: Research the individual’s background GRADED ELEMENT: Describe your selected person’s biographical background (i.e. experience). HELP: This can include resume elements such as birthdate, location, education, and brief statement of their contribution to public health. (Reminder: biographical information can be easily plagiarized. Please do not copy from your biographical websites. Paraphrase and/or quote and cite everything according to APA.)

Students will write a two-page critical summary of a peer-reviewed journal article that uses qualitative methods for their study. Select a journal from the social sciences like Human Service Education, a journal of the National Organization for Human Services. Other suggested journals may come from the professions of social work, psychology, sociology, political science, criminal justice, or health care. EBSCO is a good source for choosing social science journals when students do their library research. The journal chosen should contain qualitative research papers on subjects pertaining to Human Services. The students should be able to read an analysis of the data and report on the validity of the report. The critique should include an analysis of the research design, methodology, statistic chosen, ethical issues that may be present, and results of the research. Are the results generalizable to other programs or populations?&nbsp
