Overview
Up until this point, the course assignments have been designed to support your engagement with population groups as change agents and to develop an organizational and community assessment. You are now in position to develop an intervention plan to address the condition you have identified, beginning with a clear frame of the condition and a working intervention hypothesis. You will then develop an intervention designed to collaboratively address the condition identified by the focal population. Consider the focal population and condition from your previous assignment submissions to complete this assignment.
By successfully completing this assignment, you demonstrate your proficiency in the following EPAS and generalist behaviors:
EPAS Competency 4: Engage in practice-informed research and research-informed practice.
C4.GP.A: Apply research findings to inform and improve practice, policy, and programs.
Related Assignment Criteria:
Develop a frame for the condition that needs to change by including a qualitative statement, a quantitative statement, and a justification-of-action statement along with a working intervention hypothesis.
Assess critical functions and participants necessary to support the intervention by developing a roster of critical functions (systems) and participants (system representatives).
C4.GP.B: Identify ethical, culturally informed, anti-racist, and anti-oppressive strategies that address inherent biases for use in quantitative and qualitative research methods to advance the purposes of social work.
Related Assignment Criterion:
Explain how you ensured a wide variety of perspectives by addressing intersections of diversity, such as race/ethnicity, age, gender, faith, allies, and politics.
EPAS Competency 5: Engage in policy practice.
C5.GP.A: Use social justice, anti-racist, and anti-oppressive lenses to assess how social welfare policies affect the delivery of and access to social services.
Related Assignment Criteria:
Analyze the political and/or economic feasibility for implementing the proposed intervention and how you might address any barriers.
Describe how implementing the strategies will impact the quality of life for the focal population in the organization or community.
Apply a practical, a political, and an ethical issue associated with using the evaluation approach you selected for your specific intervention.
C5.GP.B: Apply critical thinking to analyze, formulate, and advocate for policies that advance human rights and social, racial, economic, and environmental justice.
Related Assignment Criteria:
Explain the reason for selecting the strategy, or strategies, you plan to use in the proposed intervention (for example, collaborative, campaign, or contest) and any strategic taboos you have identified.
Explain two tactics you will use as part of your intervention strategy and your rationale for selecting them.
Explain the rationale for the type of approach you plan to use to evaluate your proposed intervention (for example, outcome-based, linear versus emergent, or non-linear).
EPAS Competency 6: Engage with individuals, families, groups, organizations, and communities.
C6.GP.A: Apply knowledge of human behavior and person-in-environment, as well as interprofessional conceptual frameworks, to engage with clients and constituencies.
Related Assignment Criterion:
Develop a broad statement for what you expect to happen as a result of the proposed intervention using each of the following approaches: organization or community approach, policy approach, and practice approach.
