Week 5 Analyzing Focus Group Findings and Mental Illnesses Paper

 

Imagine that two focus groups have been conducted in an Asian  American and immigrant community in a large urban city. The rationale of  conducting the qualitative study was because it has been noted that  many Asian Americans and immigrants are reluctant to seek mental health  services. To further understand this issue, service providers including  social workers, counselors, doctors, and nurses were recruited to  discuss the barriers in implementing mental health services targeted to  Asian Americans and immigrants. After the focus groups were transcribed,  two research assistants were hired to conduct a content analysis of the  transcripts. Refer to the Week 5 Handout: Content Analysis of Focus  Groups.

As the social worker, you have been asked to analyze the  focus group data and are charged with working with an advisory board in  the community to formulate social work practice recommendations using  the ecological model.

To prepare for this Assignment, review Week 5 Handout: Content Analysis of Focus Groups which is attached.
