Hi class,
My proposed quantitative correlational study examines whether continuity of individualized mental health service engagement is statistically associated with post-release psychiatric stability among justice-involved adults with serious mental illness in Oregon. Several feasibility strengths are present, particularly in relation to scope, access, and methodological alignment, which are central feasibility considerations in dissertation research planning (Grand Canyon University [GCU], 2024). Need Assignment Help?
First, the study relies on archival agency records (appointment adherence and BPRS scores), reducing recruitment burden and procedural complexity. Second, the correlational design minimizes intervention-related risk. Third, estimated sample size requirements (approximately 84 participants for medium effect size, α = .05, power = .80) appear attainable within Oregon reentry programs. Adequate sample size is essential to ensure statistical conclusion validity and avoid underpowered findings (Leon et al., 2011).
Potential feasibility risks include delays in site authorization, incomplete archival documentation, and possible violation of normality assumptions for Pearson correlation. These risks may be mitigated by securing early data-use agreements, conducting preliminary data audits, and planning a nonparametric alternative (Spearman's rho) if assumptions are not met. Remaining concerns involve consistency of BPRS administration intervals and completeness of post-release documentation across agencies. Overall, the study remains feasible given structured data availability and a nonexperimental design.
