Students will complete a research paper consisting of the analysis of a social problem or at-risk population.
This paper will require you to:
Identify a social problem or at-risk population. 
Discuss the history of the problem, the current scope of the problem, and issues involved in providing services. 
Explain how a specific agency is addressing this issue. 
As part of your research, you must contact an agency that provides services that address your chosen social problem/at-risk population. During the interview, gather the following information:
Nature of their work
Job qualifications
Client population and target population
Method of service delivery (home visits, group therapy, office visits, etc.)
Funding source
Any other relevant information
I have started by writing an abstract, which is listed below. I attached the information from the interview with the social worker.
Abstract: Highlighting the existence and consequences of the waiting list for individuals with intellectual disabilities who require services under the Michelle P. Waiver raises awareness amongst the public, policymakers, and stakeholders about the challenges faced by individuals with special needs and their families. Advocating for timely, accessible, efficient, and alternative interventions is essential for their development, well-being, and overall quality of life. The prolonged wait list reflects inefficiencies, resource shortages, funding gaps, and bureaucratic barriers. Providing guidance and navigating waiver services helps clarify roles and responsibilities, driving advocacy efforts to improve access to timely services and expand options for individuals with intellectual disabilities.

Please perform research on how culture and substance abuse are interconnected. This paper will be focused on one specific group of your choice ( African Amerfican women) and how the beliefs and biases of that population (whether implicit or explicit) impact someone of that culture looking at or dealing with substance abuse treatment.
The paper needs to focus on one culture, and include:
Empirical evidence of beliefs, customs or norms
How those beliefs customs or norms are impacted by substance abuse/use
A policy you are aware of or would create that would protect this culture and
What you will do going forward in their practice to inform themselves and colleagues on how to work with this culture.

Considering the time period described in the readings, in what ways has the treatment of undocumented immigrants and asylum seekers violated their human rights and their rights to social, economic and environmental justice? In your response, provide two examples from the readings in Week 3, using a different source for each example. Be specific in explaining your examples. After each example, explain what human rights or principles of social, economic, or environmental justice have been violated, drawing from documents such as the UDHR, the definition of social justice, and the principles of environmental justice.

Incorporate relevant social work values and ethics from NASW. Incorporate the following minimum elements into your paper, and refer to the grading rubric for this assignment.
Discuss the methods you used to select appropriate strategies and interventions for this case based on the assessment presented in Mini-Paper #1 along with research knowledge and the values and preferences of the case. Briefly discuss the connection between the intervention(s) selected and how the problem is understood from a major explanatory theory, such as constructivist theory, biophysical theory, systemic theory, or feminist theory. Provide a rationale for selecting or creating the particular intervention(s). This rationale may be based on evidence-based practice ideas, practice-based evidence ideas, or ethical ideas such as feminist, social justice, etc.
Provide and discuss a treatment plan based on the assessment presented in Mini-Paper #1, including the problem list. The treatment plan must include the following: a) Goals that are related to the identified problems, b) Objectives that are related to the identified problems and are written in SMART format, and c) Evidence-based strategies and interventions that were or will be utilized to achieve the goals/objectives within the identified timeframe(s).

Discuss how you developed mutually-agreed-upon goals and objectives using inter-professional collaboration as appropriate to achieve beneficial practice outcomes; how you negotiated, mediated, and advocated on behalf of client systems, organizations, and communities; and how you facilitated effective transitions and endings that advanced mutually-agreed-upon goals.
