It  is essential when beginning your practice to understand your personal  values, organizational values, professional ethical ethics, and the  intersection of them to ethical decision-making. Anyone without a firm  understanding of ethical dilemmas, ethics, and the process of ethical  decision-making can find themselves violating ethical principles.  Remaining aware of potential problem areas will prepare you to recognize  them when they present themselves to you. To gain additional practice  in this area, in your discussion you will create and analyze a case  study to evaluate whether the actions presented are consistent with the  NOHS Standards for Human Service Professionals.

Create  a scenario of an ethical dilemma that you have not previously used. It  can involve any type of violation against the NOHS Standards for Human  Service Professionals.

Please respond to the following:

• Describe the case you have chosen, outlining all ethical issues presented by the actions of the Human Services Professional.
• Discuss how your core values, which you shared in Unit 2, are reflected in your course of actions.
• Analyze the actions in light of your readings and the NOHS Ethical Standards for Human Service Professionals.
• Outline how you could handle the situation differently.
• Suggest  some ways in which the astute and ethical human service professional  can prevent such a situation from developing by being aware and  proactive in his or her practice.

Data Collection Tool Design (Qualitative or Quantitative)

The data collection tool will be the primary mechanism used to collect information about your program. Your data collection tool should target those key indicators that you will use to determine whether the intended results are being achieved. The indicators may be qualitative or quantitative depending on your research type or program goals.

Program objectives may be used to identify items to be evaluated. With process evaluation, you would want to collect data from the beginning and throughout the development of the program. While you would still want to evaluate the process in an outcome evaluation model, you are looking primarily at the outputs of the initiative in terms of whether the intended results were achieved.

This assignment will be completed in two parts. The first part (summary) should be submitted via a word processing file. The second part will be your data collection tool. You have multiple options for this. You must decide if you are going to take a qualitative or quantitative approach. There are several qualitative options. If you are using an interview as a qualitative instrument, you will submit the interview questions.

For document reviews or observational approaches, you will submit checklists or templates that you create to collect information as well as the tools you might use to interpret the data collected. As another option, particularly for a quantitative tool, you may submit survey questions, or you may use an online resource such as Survey Monkey to create the actual survey. No data collection is required regardless of the tool you decide to use. Evaluation is based on your responses in Part I, your ability to measure the effectiveness of the indicators that you have identified, the reliability and validity of your data collection tool in Part II, and the type of results you would expect based on your research.

Part I: Provide a one-page summary of your program, and ensure you include the components listed below.

Identify whether your evaluation approach is quantitative or qualitative, and explain why.
State the specific indicators being measured and what the desired results should be.
Document your assessment for reliability and validity, and describe how you determined each.
Identify the projected sample size and how your sampling method will be determined.
Part II: Develop your data collection tool in Excel or similar software. You may want to review the examples of tools for outcome evaluation in Table 7.1 on page 180 of your textbook to develop your ideas. Similar tools are useful for process evaluation.

You should include at least two sources; one should be an academically credible or peer-reviewed source, and one may be your textbook. An academically credible source for this topic would be a health or public safety industry or program website such as the websites provided in the Suggested Unit Resources section. Cite any direct quotes or paraphrases from the sources, and include any sources used on a references page. You must follow APA style when developing your assignment.

Submit both Part I (Word) and Part II (Excel) to Blackboard for this assignment.

At risk teens, it would take a board of supervisors for the plan to be effective.
