Interventions Paper Assignment
Directions
For this assignment, each student will write a paper on a particular aspect of human trafficking. You may
choose to use the same topic as used in your media presentation or chose a new human trafficking topic.
The paper must include the following:
1) An introduction to the topic
2) A review of the literature
3) At least 1 micro, mezzo, and/or macro intervention
4) Identification and application of a Human Rights article
5) Implications for the social work profession

Required Headings
Please include the required headings below:
1. Literature Review

The first paragraph(s) before the literature review is to serve as the introduction to the paper. The actual
word, Introduction, should not be used.
Content Requirement
All papers must be substantive-meaning the writer must demonstrate an in-depth understanding and
analysis of the topic that is grounded in the academic literature (the bulk of the paper) and a little bit of
common sense. Although government/well-recognized web-based sources can be used in the paper, they
cannot comprise the main references for the paper. They should be used sparingly. You must use at least
10 journal articles in this paper and cite them in the Reference section of the paper.
Sources used must be fused throughout the paper and not presented one at a time in summary form as in
the case of an annotated bibliography. You should also refrain from using direct quotes in the paper.
Paraphrased work is the expected style of writing in this course.Format and Length Requirement
Students will be expected to follow appropriate APA referencing and in-text citations. The length of the
paper for graduate students will be 8-10 pages. Undergraduate students will be expected to write 5-7

Rubric (86 points)
Points Required Headings Description
5 Introduction A good introduction clearly sets the stage for the paper.
It must include 1) a purpose statement [what you will be
discussing], and 2) a pending discussion statement [the
components that will be in the paper]. This section
should be fully developed in a paragraph or two. The
actual word “introduction” is not typed. The first
paragraph(s) before the Literature Review is to serve
as the introduction to the overall paper.
30 Literature Review Present a review of the literature that describes your
selected area of human trafficking. In this section, you must
describe your area of human trafficking, how the trafficking
works, who is most likely to be a victim and/or culprit, where
it takes place, social justice issues, and any additional
information that explains human trafficking. (This should be
the longest section of the paper. It is worth 30 points by
itself.)
15 Intervention(s) Describe at least one micro, mezzo, and/or macro level
intervention that is used to address your area of human
trafficking (e.g., cognitive behavioral therapy, policy or law,
raids or busts as rescue attempts, mentoring programs, drug
treatment programs, educational campaigns, etc.). The
intervention must be supported by at least one citation. This
section is worth 15 points and should be thoroughly
developed.
9 Human Rights This paper clearly indicates how human trafficking is a
problem worthy of addressing as a human rights issue. At
least one Universal Declaration of Human Rights Article out
of the 30 must be 1) identified in its entirety, and 2) then
applied to your chosen form of human trafficking discussed
in the paper. Article 4 which reads that –“No one shall be
held in slavery or servitude; slavery and the slave trade shall
be prohibited in all their forms” cannot be used because it is
a given. Choose any of the other 29 articles.
10 Implications for
Social Work
Based on the preceding Literature Review, Interventions,
and Human Rights contents presented, please discuss how
a particular profession or professional could be helpful in the
fight against human trafficking at the individual, family,
group, neighborhood, community, national, or international
levels.
3 Conclusion Unlike the introduction, this section of the paper contains a
precise and comprehensive summary of the main points of
the paper. It exceeds a mere perfunctory wrap-up and it
avoids rhetoric. It also avoids asking the reader questions.
This should be at least one complete paragraph and fully
developed.OTHER AREAS TO
ADDRESS

writing are expected along with a synthesis of the

integrated into your literature review, at minimum.

Background
Identifying current and relevant research related to a specific area of practice is an essential social work practice skill.  The graphic below and short video under Additional Resources provide additional information about why Evidence Based Practice (EBP) is so important in social work practice. 
Instructions
For the social issue in your community that you have identified, begin to research best practices in policies and programs to address this issue by identifying 6 research articles.  These research articles should be current (within the last 5 years) and at least 3 of the 6 articles must be specific to social work practice. Compare and contrast the findings in the template provided. 

Scientific research shows that trauma and substance use are deeply linked. People who have experienced trauma are much more likely to use drugs or alcohol than people who have not. This is especially true if the person develops symptoms of PTSD after the trauma. However, with the help of protective factors, trauma might not lead to drug use in some cases. It’s important that social workers acknowledge (and build) the protective factors in their clients’ environment to motivate them. Write a four-page paper discussing:
How childhood trauma can lead to substance use in adulthood.
Risk factors for adolescents and some of the behaviors that they exhibit. Types of protective factors and how they can help clients and families prevent issues like substance use after trauma.
Utilize evidence-based research to discuss why trauma and substance use are frequently co-morbid in patients seeking mental health treatment and how protective factors could build resiliency. Your paper should be four pages, double-spaced, in 12-point font, and 1-inch margins (APA format), and cite at least four scholarly references.
