Homework: Populations and Problems of Interest

Now that you have taken more steps toward seeing how your social work inspiration ties to practice, history, ethics, and culture, how might this apply to the type of clients or problems you envision working within a social work practice? Perhaps your initial assumptions have broadened when reflecting more about culture. Or maybe an added perspective on social work history has affirmed your hope to focus on a specific population or problem.

This homework provides you with the opportunity to learn how social workers intervene with diverse populations and about different fields within the profession, based on a population or problem of interest that you hope to focus on in your practice. As part of this homework, you also have the opportunity to familiarize yourself with Walden library skills that you are developing this week to support your academic performance.

Read all the instructions from top to bottom of this page to understand what needs to be done in this homework. I have gone to Walden university library to pull articles to help you put this homework together you can use any references from any of the articles that are at the bottom of the reading including any outside references that you would like to use as well to support your work. It is also very important that you read the professor's rubric on how to complete the homework. Scroll to the bottom to review that. I have attached all reading articles in the discussion go back to them and I've attached another student paper to review only. Also in this paper, we will focus on problem areas in children/adolescents, substance abuse, substance use, drug abuse, drug addiction, or drug use. You can focus on any of the lists provided using the reading from the school database mixed with some of your own finds. If you should need any help or clarity just ping me and i will answer as soon as I'm available thanks...

To prepare

Consider a social work population or problem with which you have considered working. Go to the Walden library to find articles about this population/problem and the social work role when working with this population/problem.

Walden library recommends the following:

Navigate to the social work research guidelinks to an external site... From the library's homepage, click on the blue button research by subject, then choose social work.

The gold-lined search box at the top of the pages searches thousands of social work journals and is a great place to start your research.

Look at the results, especially the title and subjects, to see related concepts and keywords to add to your search.

Use or between related terms, which means you will take either term. Example:

Domestic violence or intimate partner violence

Add a second concept in box #2 to focus your search. It helps to keep concepts separate, especially when multiple boxes are provided. Example:

Box #1: domestic violence or intimate partner violence
Box #2: veterans

Refine your results based on what you find. Do not be afraid to try other keywords or combinations of words.

Now apply limits. Scroll down in the left column to limit by date (last 5 years) and limit the results to peer-reviewed scholarly journals only.
