Assignment
For this assignment, you will use the case study you selected for your Week 1 assignment.
Write a 260- to 350-word paper that explains the following about your chosen case study:
• What type of qualitative method would you use to investigate the scenario? What will you use to gather information, such as interviews, surveys, or focus groups?
• Why do you think your selected method is the most appropriate method to answer the questions you have?
• Identify anything you think might have an unanticipated influence on your research.
• How will you construct the qualitative research to address the characteristics of good qualitative research?
The response should include a reference list. Double-space, using Times New Roman 12 pnt font, one-inch margins, and APA style of writing and citations.
Here is the case study I selected: Case Study 2 (General and Applied Psychology): The staff at a large mental health clinic has noticed that patients age 35 and older respond well to calls regarding follow-up appointments and medication reminders. However, patients younger than 35 have a much lower response rate to phone call reminders. They do not answer calls and do not often respond to voice mail requesting they call the clinic back; they are more likely to respond to text messages or social media outreach. The result is that many follow-up appointments are missed and patients do not take their medication as directed. Missed medication and appointments result in poor quality of mental health for patients, and missed appointments result in added costs for the clinic. The approximate number of patients on the telephone recall list is 1,500, and 60% are above 35 years of age.
