Objective 7: Evaluate the effectiveness of evidence-based interventions and other generalists practice activities and client situations in the context of political and social policy by applying both quantitative and qualitative evaluation, research, and effective writing skills to a variety of practice settings.

I chose to post a part of a major assignment that I have been working on since last semester. As a part of Research, each student conducts a major project. I have chosen to share my Research Proposal because it explains the nature and methodology of my research with relative caregivers and the impact of their stress on their physical health and functioning.

Since I have begun to actually conduct my research, I have collected data from participants in my study by distributing questionnaires. I have analyzed this data and presented a presentation of my findings for the 2008 UTC Social Work Research Showcase. This presentation is in the form of an e-poster, which I have uploaded.
