Page length: 6-8 pages, double spaced (doesn’t include title page, references page, or measurement tools which should be provided before or after the body of your paper) Include the following information: Provide a description of the target population (we do this in several assignments because the more you write about your population, the better you understand the population and how to describe this population to others) Provide the exclusionary and inclusionary criteria (clearly identify who will participate in the needs assessment and why they are participating–think about who are the key stakeholders and how might not have any information to give. If you are doing a needs assessment with military families and you don’t exclude me, you will not get information targeted to your population) Describe the data you will collect (Quantitative, Qualitative, or Mixed-Method) and why you will use this strategy Describe the instruments and procedures you will use when collecting data Are you using standardized measures, measures you are creating, or a mixture of both–briefly explain why If using standardized, provide examples of the questions in the body of the paper. If the survey is free, provide the survey or questionnaire after the references If using non-standardized, provide examples of the questions in the body of the paper Provide a brief description of the measurement tools (description should be in the body of the paper and the full survey/questionnaire should be located after the references if you have access to the standardized measurement tool) Describe your sampling methodology recruitment strategies–probability or non-probability (I have provided a resource to review that helps you with this section) I do not expect you have a thorough or clear idea of the sampling method you would ultimately use, but I would like you to think about this and what you would like to use that would best work with your population, budget, and capability. Do a little research, but I don’t expect you to have a perfect answer to this at this time because you have not learned research methods let alone sampling methods at this point in your program. Describe your method for analyzing your data and how you will adjust for missing participants Again, not expecting a perfect answer here, but do a little research about the sampling method and research methods you are choosing and practice talking about it here. Include the timeframe for collecting data (will there only be one point of collection or multiple, and why would you choose this timeframe?) Detail how you will maintain data security and obtain Informed Consent (practice thinking about this–doesn’t need to be perfect) Provide your Informed Consent form after your references (research examples of Informed Consent for a needs assessment–I have provided an example below you can use as a template–you will need to include your own information, but you can use it as a guide for what you should include in an informed consent.
