Dear Write,
Building on my previous literature review(I will upload this later), please write a 3 page research proposal outline to address the question/hypothesis (questions/hypotheses) posed at the conclusion of the review. The proposed study should include both qualitative and quantitative methods, and address the match between the question(s) and methods. Please specify the usual methodological and ethical elements of a proposal. As before logical flow is required. In your esaay you should cover the following issues but you may expand as needed:
1. Identify, define, and operationalize the variables (if applicable, indicate independent, dependent & control variables)
2. Describe the study population and identify a sample you would select; where and how (sampling method) you would find this sample; sample size; inclusion & exclusion criteria
3. Suggest a research design and data collection method(s) that would allow you to answer your research question(s); the research design covers the quantitative component of the proposed study
4. Suggest a qualitative component to supplement or complement the quantitative component of the study
5. Discuss the agency, policy, or client restraints that may compromise the application of your research proposal to the real world setting
6. Discuss the ethical issues that relate to your proposed research, paying particular attention to the human service setting
7. Discuss the potential implications of the study for practice and/or policy
