Clearly and concisely answer the following three questions:
Describe the type of data analysis you plan to conduct(i.e. Mixed Methods Approach)
• If you anticipate using quantitative statistical analysis techniques provide a basic (not complicated) description of the variables you will analyze.
• If you intend to conduct qualitative data analysis; describe what type of information (e.g., themes or patterns in the data) that you anticipate will emerge from the data.
• If you are proposing a mixed method approach, describe the details for both previous bullet points.
Identify your plan for disseminating the results of your research that are appropriate for the professional practice setting you have selected (e.g., presentations at agency meetings attended by those whose practice or research can be guided by your findings, publications, etc.)
Briefly summarize how you believe this hypothetical research proposal would contribute to the following three areas:
• The lives of clients
• The setting where the services are taking place
