o             4: Apply critical thinking in verbal and written communication through the use of leadership and technology.

Assignment Scenario

The Vold Anti-Poverty Foundation is comparing three employment programs for former foster care youth to determine which leads to best outcomes. The three programs are a vocational skills training program, a mentorship program, and a job placement service. The foundation collected data six months after the youth completed each program and the youth were asked to provide their monthly incomes.

Assignment Instructions

For this assignment, complete the following in a one-page, APA-formatted paper:

1.            Review the tutorial provided in the first study in this unit as a guide for conducting ANOVA tests.

2.            Use the Unit 7 Dataset, given in the resources, to test whether monthly income varied by type of services rendered at a .05 level of significance.

3.            State the following, based on the output shown in the output file you develop:

o             For each group, state the sample size and monthly income (mean and standard deviation).

o             State the results of the F-test including degrees of freedom, F-statistic, and p-value.

o             If the overall F-test is significant, report the results of the Tukey post hoc test.

4.            Respond to the following prompts, based on the value of the test statistic:

o             Would the ANOVA test lead you to retain the null hypothesis or reject the null hypothesis?

o             Which groups had the best outcomes, if there is a statistically significant difference?

5.            Provide a summary of the conclusion for this test. Be sure to include the interpretation of the findings for the Vold Foundation.

Additional Requirements

Your assignment should meet the following requirements:

•             Written communication: Written communication is free of errors that detract from the overall message.

•             APA formatting: Resources and citations are formatted according to current APA style and formatting standards.

•             Length of paper: One double-spaced page.

Analysis Plan

2- Assignment Overview

The analysis plan is your opportunity to describe the statistical methods and qualitative analysis you would use to complete the program evaluation.

By successfully completing this assignment, you demonstrate your proficiency in the following competency and specialized behaviors:

•             Competency 4: Engage in practice-informed research and research-informed practice.

o             C4.SP.A: Apply leadership skills, decision making, and the use of technology to inform evidence-based research practice to develop, implement, evaluate, and communicate interventions across the specialization of advanced generalist practice settings.

o             Related Assignment Criteria:

o             1: Create a detailed analysis plan using the appropriate statistical techniques.

o             3: Evaluate the research assumptions that guided the selection of methodology and data analysis.

o             C4.SP.B: Apply leadership skills, decision making, and the use of technology to inform program evaluation to develop, implement, evaluate, and communicate interventions across the specialization of advanced generalist practice settings.

o             Related Assignment Criteria:

o             2: Evaluate data analysis tests to select appropriate tests pertinent to the sampling methodology and program evaluation design.

o             4: Develop an aligned research question and/or hypothesis relevant to the chosen program evaluation design.

Assignment Description

As there are many methods to analyze data, be sure that the tests you select are appropriate to both the case study, your guiding research questions, and your proposed methodology. Refer to the Methodology section to ensure the analysis plan and methodology align.

Assignment Instructions

Complete the following:

•             Create your detailed analysis plan using the appropriate statistical techniques for analyzing data on descriptive measures and outcome measures based on the methodology you proposed.

•             Evaluate data analysis tests to select appropriate tests pertinent to the sampling methodology and program evaluation design. How will you answer your guiding research question (or questions)?

•             Evaluate the research assumptions that guided your selection of methodology and data analysis. For example, to conduct paired t tests, you must have a minimum of 30 participants in your sample size.

•             Describe any qualitative data you might collect and how you would analyze that data.

•             Describe the alignment of your research question and/or hypothesis and your chosen program evaluation design.

Remember that your instructor provides feedback on your assignments. Use that feedback to improve the content of your course project.

Additional Requirements

Your assignment should meet the following requirements:

•             Written communication: Written communication is free of errors that detract from the overall message.

•             APA formatting: Resources and citations are formatted according to current APA style and formatting standards.

•             Resources: Citations will be necessary in justifying choices in analyzing data.

•             Length of paper: 2–3 double-spaced pages.

Teen Parenting Case Study

 Your agency is providing eight-week parenting classes for teen parents in an urban environment. Services are open to both teen mothers and teen fathers, and their children can be any age. You get referrals from local schools, hospitals, social service agencies, and the Department of Children and Family Services. The interventions of the program include a weekly parenting class, dealing with topics such as child development, effective communication with children, stress management, and compassionate behavior management strategies. The anticipated outcomes of the program include: • Increased knowledge about child development. • Increased sense of competence in parenting. • Decreased reported stress levels. • Beliefs in line with compassionate behavior management strategies rather than using corporal punishment. 1
