QUALITATIVE FINDINGS AND SOCIAL WORK INTERVENTIONS

Order Instructions

Review the Matheson et al. article in the Learning Resources. Pay close attention to the Findings section, in which themes are conveyed and participants’ quotes are presented.

Also review the Fennig and the Marsiglia et al. articles on cultural adaptations of interventions and programs. In the Fennig article, focus on the surface structure and deep structure adaptations presented.

Post the following:

Using one of the participant quotes in the Findings section of the Matheson et al. study, analyze it by first identifying the main themes in the quote.

Provide an interpretation of the quote (what is the speaker saying?).

Discuss how this would specifically inform one intervention recommendation for social work practice with clients. Your recommendation can be on the micro, mezzo, or macro level (choose one).

Next, explain how you would adapt the practice recommendation that you identified so that it is culturally sensitive and relevant for African Americans, Hispanics, or Asian immigrants. (Select only one group.)

Choose a surface structure or deep structure adaptation that Fennig reviewed and provide two strategies for application with your selected group. Be as specific as you can, using citations to support your ideas.
