Social Work Research - Couple Counseling

For this Assignment, choose between the case studies entitled "Social  Work Research: Couple Counseling" and "Social Work Research: Using  Multiple Assessments." Consider how you might select among the issues  presented to formulate a research proposal.

Be sure to consult the outline in Chapter 14 the Yegidis et  al. text for content suggestions for the sections of a research  proposal. As you review existing research studies, notice how the  authors identify a problem, focus the research question, and summarize  relevant literature. These can provide you with a model for your  research proposal.

Submit a 6-page research proposal  stating both a research problem and a broad research question (may be  either qualitative or quantitative). Use 6–10 of the most relevant  literature resources to support the need for the study, define concepts,  and define variables relevant to the question. Include a literature  review explaining what previous research has found in relation to your  problem and question. The literature review should also include a  description of methods used by previous researchers. Finally, be sure to  explain how your proposed study addresses a gap in existing knowledge.
