This week’s second discussion
forum will focus on indigent and homeless people.

As highlighted in
Chapter 9 of your course text, three research methods are available (i.e.,
descriptive, analytic, and evaluative). Discuss these methods and give one
example of how each would be used when conducting research using homeless
individuals as subjects. Analyze possible regulatory, accreditation, ethical,
and legal issues and challenges with respect to your research. 

Your
initial contribution should be 250 to 300 words in length. Your research and
claims must be supported by a minimum of two scholarly sources beyond your
course text.  Use proper APA formatting for in-text citations and references as
outlined in the Ashford Writing Center.

Guided Response:
Review several of your classmates’ posts.  Provide a substantive response
(minimum of 100 words) to at least two of your peers. Do you agree or disagree
with your classmates’ explanation of the appropriateness of the methods used for
this group? What other regulatory, ethical, and/or legal issues might be present
in your classmates’ examples?
