Create a 6- to 7-slide PowerPoint presentation in which you do the following:

/in /by

Your quest to purchase a new car begins with an identification of the factors important to you. As you conduct a search of cars that rate high on those factors, you collect evidence and try to understand the extent of that evidence. A report that suggests a certain make and model of automobile has high mileage is encouraging. But who produced that report? How valid is it? How was the data collected, and what was the sample size?

In this Assignment, you will delve deeper into clinical inquiry by closely examining your PICO(T) question. You also begin to analyze the evidence you have collected.

To Prepare:

  • Review the Resources and identify a clinical issue of interest that can form the basis of a clinical inquiry.
  • Develop a PICO(T) question to address the clinical issue of interest for the Assignment.
  • Use the key words from the PICO(T) question you developed and search at least four different databases in the Walden Library. Identify at least four relevant systematic reviews or other filtered high-level evidence, which includes meta-analyses, critically-appraised topics (evidence syntheses), critically-appraised individual articles (article synopses). The evidence will not necessarily address all the elements of your PICO(T) question, so select the most important concepts to search and find the best evidence available.
  • Reflect on the process of creating a PICO(T) question and searching for peer-reviewed research.

complete the Unit 10 Assignment: Prevention and Treatment Presentation

This week you will identify current prevention and treatment strategies used to address juvenile delinquency.

In the context of juvenile delinquency, treatment and prevention take on two different meanings. Treatment is reactive in nature, providing remedies for issues and conditions already present. Prevention, on the other hand, is proactive in nature, concentrating on eliminating or reducing the commission of certain conduct or the presence of certain situations.

Create an eight slide PowerPoint presentation which lists current prevention and treatment strategies. Include the following in your presentation:

  • List two current prevention strategies.
  • Discuss how effective each prevention strategy is in successfully rehabilitating the juvenile delinquent.
  • List two current treatment strategies.
  • Discuss how effective each treatment strategy is in successfully rehabilitating the juvenile delinquent.

Provide case studies/examples of each.

Note: This Assignment requires outside research. Use at least two credible sources and discuss how you evaluated the credibility of the resources used. You may consult the Library, the Internet, course materials, and any other outside resources in supporting your task, using proper citations in APA style.

The PowerPoint presentation should have the following characteristics.

  • Bullets for your main points.
  • Pictures to support your presentation where applicable.
  • Research from at least two reliable sources to support the main message, including graphics.

Create a 12–15 slide presentation (e.g., PowerPoint, Prezi, etc.) to inform a special education committee at your school district that is interested in studying the effectiveness of an intervention about the three quantitative research designs (i.e., experimental, quasi-experimental, and correlational). Consider the following as you develop your presentation:

/in /by

For this Assignment, you will apply your knowledge and skills relative to experimental, quasi-experimental, and correlational research approaches to the development of a presentation for community members.

To prepare:

· Review all module Learning Resources. Pay particular attention to the characteristics of experimental, quasi-experimental, and correlational research designs. Think about how you might communicate the similarities and differences of each design to community stakeholders.

· Consider the following scenario:

A special education committee in your school district is interested in studying the effectiveness of a particular intervention. You have been asked to create a presentation to provide the committee with background information on the three types of quantitative studies they could use to study this intervention. Additionally, your presentation needs to compare the approaches for the committee in a concise, accurate, and meaningful way.

Create a 12–15 slide presentation (e.g., PowerPoint, Prezi, etc.) to inform a special education committee at your school district that is interested in studying the effectiveness of an intervention about the three quantitative research designs (i.e., experimental, quasi-experimental, and correlational). Consider the following as you develop your presentation:

· How do the designs differ?

· What elements do the designs share?

· What does each design contribute to the field of special education?

· How could validity threats be minimized for each of the designs?

Cite and compare experimental, quasi-experimental, and correlation study examples that further highlights each of these methodologies for your audience.

Support your presentation with specific reference to the Learning Resources, outside resources, and personal experience.

Note: For this Assignment and all scholarly writing in this course and throughout your program, you will be required to use APA style (6th edition). Please use the Walden Writing Center as a resource as you complete assignments.

Note: Since you will not be presenting your work in class, you may use the Notes feature to script out commentary for each slide or develop a narrated presentation.
