Using the WilmU library databases or valuable internet sources, you must select a research article from established, professional, peer reviewed journals that reflects qualitative research relevant to human services that was conducted in the U.S. after 2002.

Research should have practical applications to programs delivered through human services organization – including community-based, nonprofit, schools, public sector, or faith-based organizations and be relevant to your final project. Only original qualitative research should be used; this means that observations, interviews, document review or a combination of these activities should be used to collect data. Words, not numbers are used in the analysis.
