Several of the writers assigned from our Module 4 readings address the area of pain in sport from a psychological perspective. Referring to the works of at least two of these authors (see below), discuss, generally, how you feel that pain functions from a social, psychological, or anthropological perspective in our modern sports world. For example, what do Young and White say about how athletes “depersonalize” or “disrespect” pain?

Goal
One of the best sources for gathering information about what’s happening in an occupation or an industry is to talk to people working in the field. This process is called informational or research interviewing. An informational interview is an interview that you initiate – you ask the questions. The purpose is to obtain information, not to get a job.
Good reasons for conducting an Informational Interview
to explore careers and clarify your career goal
to discover employment opportunities that are not advertised
to expand your professional network
to build confidence for your job interviews
to access the most up-to-date career information
to identify your professional strengths and weaknesses
Instructions
Steps to Conduct and Informational Interview
Identify the Occupation or Industry You Wish to Learn About Assess your own interests, abilities, values, and skills, and evaluate labor conditions and trends to identify the best fields to research.
Prepare for the Interview Read all you can about the field prior to the interview. Decide what information you would like to obtain about the occupation/industry. Prepare a list of questions that you would like to have answered.
Identify People to Interview Start with lists of people you already know – friends, relatives, fellow students, present or former co-workers, supervisors, neighbors, etc… Professional organizations, the yellow pages, organizational directories, and public speakers are also good resources. You may also call an organization and ask for the name of the person by job title.
Arrange the Interview Contact the person to set up an interview: o by telephone, o by a letter followed by a telephone call, or o by having someone who knows the person make the appointment for you.
Conduct the Interview Dress appropriately, arrive on time, be polite and professional. Refer to your list of prepared questions; stay on track, but allow for spontaneous discussion. Before leaving, ask your contact to suggest names of others who might be helpful to you and ask permission to use your contact’s name when contacting these new contacts.
Follow Up Immediately following the interview, record the information gathered. Be sure to send a thank-you note to your contact within one week of the interview.
NOTE: Always analyze the information you’ve gathered. Adjust your job search, resume, and career objective if necessary.
Questions
Prepare a list of your own questions for your informational interview. Here are some good questions to consider and use. You choose the questions you want to ask for the information you want to gather and learn about the career and person in the job.
On a typical day in this position, what do you do?
What training or education is required for this type of work?
What personal qualities or abilities are important to being successful in this job?
What part of this job do you find most satisfying? most challenging?
How did you get your job?
What opportunities for advancement are there in this field?
What entry level jobs are best for learning as much as possible?
What are the salary ranges for various levels in this field?
How do you see jobs in this field changing in the future?
Is there a demand for people in this occupation?
What special advice would you give a person entering this field?
What types of training do companies offer persons entering this field?
What are the basic prerequisites for jobs in this field?
Which professional journals and organizations would help me learn more about this field?
What do you think of the experience I’ve had so far in terms of entering this field?
From your perspective, what are the problems you see working in this field?
If you could do things all over again, would you choose the same path for yourself? Why? What would you change?
With the information you have about my education, skills, and experience, what other fields or jobs would you suggest I research further before I make a final decision?
What do you think of my resume? Do you see any problem areas? How would you suggest I change it?
Who do you know that I should talk to next? When I call him/her, may I use your name?
You can interview a teacher, relative, friend, friend of a friend, and much more. If you are having trouble finding someone to interview, go to a department on your school campus and interview a professor in the field.
You can conduct your interview remotely via Zoom. It is okay to do more than one interview (this is encouraged). Get creative! You have options to complete this assignment:
Write a one-page reflection or create a video of the person and career field you interviewed:
Who did you interview? What is their job title?
What does a day in the life look like? Was it similar to your expectations?
What steps would you need to take to get there from where you are now?
What types of work-experience or internships would be valuable as you are working toward your final goal?
What is the salary range of the job you chose?
What are some aspects of the job that are most appealing to you? What aspects of the job do you think you would find most challenging or unappealing?
What surprised you?
How did you feel going in to the interview? How do you feel about it now?
Did you find this assignment to be valuable? Why or why not?

Citations
In academic writing it is important that citations are properly given as a way to: 1) give credit to the original author’s ideas and 2) to inform the reader where the information came from. Here are some examples of properly citing from a textbook:
Direct quote:
“About 12,000 years ago (around 10,000 BCE), a fundamental shift occurred in the way humans produced food for themselves—what some scholars have called an agricultural, or ecological, revolution” (Worlds Together, Worlds Apart, 22).
As you can see, there are quotation marks (“”) around the material taken straight from the textbook, Worlds Together, Worlds Apart; which is followed by the textbook title in abbreviated format and the page number from where the quote can be found. If the material being quoted is more than two sentences, then the writer should paraphrase the material in their own words while still providing proper citation.
Indirect (paraphrased) quote:
According to the textbook, around 12,000 years ago a shift occurred in the ways humans produced food, which is called the agricultural revolution (Worlds Together, Worlds Apart, 22). During the same period a warming trend occurred, which allowed for a wealth of plants and animals to be exposed and domesticated by early humans (Worlds Together, Worlds Apart, 22).
This paraphrased quote is citing two sentences from the textbook and provided proper citation material: textbook name, followed by the page number.
Proper citations are also required when quoting, directly or indirectly, from lecture PPT slides and primary sources (either from the textbook, textbook reader, or on Canvas).
You can also use the author’s last name followed by the page number:
During the same period a warming trend occurred, which allowed for a wealth of plants and animals to be exposed and domesticated by early humans (Pollard, 22).
As long as the reader, me, knows where the information is coming from, then using either title or author is ok with me. Please do not stress on the minutia or small details of MLA or Chicago Style, as long as the information presented in the Website is clearly from the Work Cited page, then I am happy.

topic :
Studies on substance use disorders among the LGBTQ +
here is the instructions : For this assignment you will perform a literature review that may include peer-reviewed studies and/or organizational reports, Although a thorough literature review will provide valuable information about your health topic, the planning of an intervention will typically require gathering more data about the health problem for your specific target population. Hence, in the second half of this assignment you will be asked to describe how you would collect primary data specific to the target population to help understand what intervention would be most appropriate to address the health problem.
1) Identify and describe the information from at least 2 literature sources. The sources of literature may be peer-reviewed publications and/or organizational reports. Hence, literature sources may include peer-reviewed studies (e.g. studies on PubMed) as well as detailed population health reports from governmental or non-governmental organizations. You should select studies that could help inform the design of an intervention that addresses your case study and that describe the population’s needs, assets, and capacities.
1. FIX GRAMMER
2. Dont use derogatory terms
3. follow the rubric
Briefly describe the key health indicators and information included in these literature sources.
Describe the data collection methods used (e.g. survey, in-depth interviews, etc.), the specific population(s) from which these data are generated, and the key results.
References on searching the grey literature:
What is grey literature? How do I search it? site. (Johns Hopkins, Welch Medical Library)
Finding Qualitative Research Articles: Grey Literature (UW Health sciences Library)
Please keep in mind that in order that to develop a good understanding of the background for your case, you will want to be reviewing the literature well beyond just the two sources that you select for this assignment.
2) Describe and synthesize the evidence from the literature about the needs, assets and capacities in the population and setting that you plan to focus on for your project case study.
Describe the details of the community needs and assets identified from these sources
Include a discussion of the strengths and gaps in evidence and how the evidence could inform your intervention design.
3) Community Assessment – Explain a primary data collection activity that would help you learn more about the needs, assets, or capacities of your target population. Carrying out a community assessment is an important step of intervention planning. This should be carried out to address gaps in the existing evidence (e.g. lack of data on attitudes or behavior related to the health issue in your target population).
Describe the primary data collection activity with a brief overview of the gap(s) in the existing data that you will address, what you would hope to learn, how you plan to collect this information (e.g. telephone survey, focus group of a sub-population, etc.), and the time and resources needed to carry it out.
Discuss how the language and cultural values of the population may inform your assessment.
