mental health in homelessness

The final version of your 5-7 page literature review paper (worth 20% of your course grade) is to be submitted electronically in Blackboard Learn, and is due by 11:59PM on Sunday, March 13th. You will FIRST submit a DRAFT of this Literature Review for a PEER to Review by Feb 27th (and you will review a Peer’s by March 6th).A Literature Review tells a “story” about the information you uncover during your electronic database searches. Electronic databases such as PsycINFO, Medline/PubMed, Social Work Abstracts, and SocINDEX (all located within Academic Search Complete) may be very helpful to you as you perform the database searches necessary to complete your review.

As examples, previous students have written literature reviews related to the following research topics:

 Adverse Child Experiences (ACE)-toxic stress and adult depression  Male sex workers and risky sexual behavior

 Childhood trauma-sexual and adult high-risk sexual behavior

 U.S. Veterans and PTSD treatment interventions

 Foster Care and educational attainment

 ACE-parental incarceration and negative social behaviors (childhood bullying)  Access to healthcare and mental health diagnoses

 Childhood trauma-physical and adult substance use disorders

Throughout this paper, you will have an opportunity to demonstrate the range of knowledge, skills, and cognitive processes (logic/critical thinking) you have acquired through this course in terms of 2015 EPAS Competency #4—Engage in practice- informed research and research-informed practice. Remember, research topics are often very broad and that your papers will need to be sufficiently detailed to analyze and summarize the available peer-reviewed literature. In grading your papers, I will also be looking for evidence that you are actively engaged with the primary source material (peer-reviewed articles) from electronic databases.

As a rule of thumb, you should have at least two peer-reviewed articles per page of text

(see below). You should NOT use quoted material. No Quotes. This does not mean that the paper is a listing of research article summaries, rather you should endeavor to write a paper that is cohesive and topical, using the research you are citing to substantiate the ideas and findings of previous work.

Make sure to emphasize the following in your literature review:

o Brief description of the population(s) affected or of interest (Who are the people

within your population of interest? How many? Risk factors? Relevant historical, biological, psychological, cultural, political, and social influences on the population/research topic?) (Maximum 1 page) — Ask yourself WHO were they studying and why is it that these persons are linked to your research topic or working research question.

o Detailed descriptions and definitions of key variables (at least address those in your working research question or implied by your research topic) and how and with whom these variables have been studied in the past, as well as instruments used to measure these variables (STUDY DESIGN, METHODS, SAMPLES). (Minimum 2 pages) —Ask yourself what were they measuring and how did they measure it.

o Detailed descriptions of the evidence of program or intervention efficacy, effectiveness, results, or “best practices” (RESULTS) from research/evaluation studies AND how does this impact what is known about your research topic or working research question. (RESULTS, DISCUSSION, CONCLUSION) (Minimum 2 pages) —Ask yourself what did the researchers find out and describe their findings related to your research topic or working research question.
