Description

Due 04/15/19

Social workers often identify client problems that suggest the need for a new or more focused service. Rather than bemoaning the lack of resources, many social workers consider creating new services in the future. They might next imagine what an appropriate service or program would look like. This week, you generate a needs assessment plan for a program that meets an unmet need of your choice.

To prepare for this Discussion, review the examples of needs assessments presented in both of the readings. Consider the elements of a needs assessment plan that you must include in your own plan.

  • Post a needs assessment plan for a potential program of your choice that meets a currently unmet need.
  • Describe the unmet need and how current information supports your position that a needs assessment is warranted.
  • Identify the sources of information that you might use when conducting a needs assessment, including potential informants.
  • Explain who among these potential informants would be valuable resources and why.
  • Identify steps for obtaining credible, unbiased information.

Be sure to cite course resources or other resources, such as those in the Walden Library, related to both the program idea and to approaches to needs assessments.

Rothery eeds assessments are a form of research conduclcd to gather information about the needs of a population or group in a community. One of the more practical types of research, needs assessments are used to develop new services or to evaluate the relevance of existing programs. They may also be used to establish a need to revise or create policy. Th is chapter begins with a definition o[ needs assessment, how we define "needs:' and how we determine who to ask about needs. Common methodological approaches to n eeds assessments are described and evaluated using examples p rimarily from the social work literature. The benefits of triangulation, or using more than one source or method of gathering information, are presented, followed by a discussion of who shou ld digest and weigh inform at i.on about needs once the information is ga thered. Finally, we consider th e importance of developing a plan to implement recommendations so that the work of assessing needs is used to clients' benefits, not relegated to the shelves occupied by other dusty and neglected reports. N What Is a Needs Assessment? Needs assessments have not changed much over the years. In 1982, Kuh (cited in Stabb, 1995) listed five general purposes commonly served by needs assessment research that remain relevant today: l. Monitoring stakeholders' perceptions of various issues, which can guide the devel- opment of new programs or policies 2. Justifying existing policies or programs 3. Assessing client satisfacti on with services 4. Selecting the most desirable program or policy from several alternatives 5. Determining if needs have been met, a purpose closely akin to program evaluation Two key questions are addressed when needs

Post a needs assessment plan for a potential program of your choice that meets a currently
unmet need.
The needs assessment identified that problem or concern to be evaluated and explore
ways to involve stakeholders (Tutty & Rothery, 2010). One program need involves homeless
young mothers. The women in the program are under the age of 25 and are from diverse
backgrounds. Participants in the program are from low income families and some of the young
mothers have substance abuse and mental health issues. The issue that needs to be focused on
include finding the young, homeless mother housing and connecting them to substance abuse a...
