Research project

Laura and I are finding articles related to the research question and hypothesis that our group designed on Wednesday. Our research question is to investigate the relationship between presenting concern and the length of time the client spends in therapy. Our hypothesis is that the length of treatment is unrelated to the presenting concern.

One of the team suggested that I send one or two articles to each person in the group so they can print it – that way one person (me) does not have to print all of them… See you on Wednesday.

  1. Hi all,

    Along with the above research question, we also talked about the relationship between length of treatment and paid or unpaid clients at CCS. So, are clients who pay some fee more likely to stay in treatment vs. those who have free sessions based on the slicing fee structure.

    I guess we need to figure out whether we want to keep this as a seperate research question or make it a subquestion.

  2. There is a literature out there on this topic. It might be helpful to look at how other researchers have approached this problem.

  3. The team at Any Baby Can, which includes Laura, had a discussion about the relationship between fees and treatment outcome on Monday night… Maybe we could somehow integrate that into our research to broaden the scope of our question.

    I found some literature about dropping out of mental health treatment – we should look at that and find whether the authors discuss the issue of fees as they relate to efficacy.

  4. Doe this mean you want us each to print the articles you mailed us for the whole clas and bring them in on weds? or just the summary or neither or both……
