Required 
Choose one of the case studies provided, and read it carefully before you begin writing. This assignment is not just writing a research paper. Using the provided template and information gleaned from reading the chosen case study, you will thoroughly assess the subject’s clinical needs.
The assessment must address the spiritual, genetic, and psychosocial aspects of the individual’s behavior; ascertain if he or she is in use, abuse, or addictive cycle; and determine whether there are any co-occurring diagnoses. Think through your readings from the textbook, the definitions of use/abuse/addiction, and treatment needs associated with the level of use. Read the case study several times, paying close attention to the information that has clinical significance (e.g., what substance he/she is using, how often, how long he/she has used, longest periods of time without use, consequences of use, etc.). Also pay close attention to any family history provided and what is reported about the family. Are there genetic indications and environmental influences? How might the client’s spiritual condition affect recovery? Finally, you will be expected to make a referral or recommendations for treatmen based on your determination of the subject’s current needs.
Refer to the chapters on treatment in the May and Doweiko textbooks, focusing on what you know about the client’s current use and the treatment indications of his/her use. Incorporate the Reading & Study materials from the course into this assessment paper, using strong literature support for your assessment of the client’s current issues and your referral suggestions. Strong literature support means using the course textbooks and presentations as well as any outside academic sources needed. You must have a well-established argument for treatment; this is where you need to draw from sources to explain why you are making your recommendations.
The body assessment paper must be 6–8 full pages (in addition to the title page and the reference page). Your paper must be written in current APA format (font, margins, citations, references, etc.) and have a title page and a reference page. (An abstract is not required for this assignment.)

Instructions Paper

• In this final research paper students will synthesize the information from papers #1 and #2. Students will discuss the interconnectedness of the elements in papers #1 and #2, such as family structure, parent/child relationships, gender issues, and food and nutrition, within and across the 2 cultures you had chosen to discuss in papers #1 and #2.  Students will compare and contrast the cultures using analysis and information gathered from references.
  • How is each of these elements important to the culture?
  • How do each of these elements impact the identity of the culture?
  • How are these elements similar in each culture (compare)?
  • How are these elements different in each culture (contrast)?
• Students will also explore how the macro-environmental factors (which are made up of components of the environment such as the economics, technology, sociocultural [combination of social and cultural aspects] interactions, legal regulations and natural forces) distinctively affects families in the two different cultural backgrounds.
• How do economic factors; demographics; legal, political, and social conditions; technological changes; and natural forces, affect families and these cultural elements?
  • Macro environmental factors refer to major external and uncontrollable forces that affect the decision-making, strategies and functioning of the family in relation to the cultural elements you are discussing
• Students will use library research for the topic with a minimum of 5-6 peer reviewed reference articles and professional journal articles based on research that pertains to your paper topic.
• Peer-reviewed referenced articles – articles written by experts and reviewed by several other experts in the field before the article is published in the journal in order to insure the article’s quality
• Professional journal articles – a professional journal is a scholarly journal addressed to a particular professional audience such as doctors, lawyers, teachers, engineers, or accountants and published by a professional organization.  They may contain research articles, reports, and practical articles applicable to the profession
• These references will be properly cited within the text of your paper and listed in your reference page
• Students may include images and photographs in this assignment. These should not exceed two pages. Recommended number of photographs is three to four per culture.
• The format of the paper will include the use of headings to effectively organize ideas, structure the content, and guide the reader
• The headings should begin with the Introduction and end with the Conclusion and in between include topic headings that introduce what you will be discussing in each section throughout the paper
• Be sure that your headings are meaningful and that the discussion that follows the heading reflects it
• Your headings should be: Centered on the page, Boldface, Uppercase and Lowercase Headings with the first letter of each work capitalized
• This assignment will be 7-10 pages:
• Example of Headings:
  • Introduction
  • Discussion of Culture #1 Element/s
  • Discussion of Culture #2 Element/s
  • Comparison of Element/s in both cultures
  • Contrast of Element/s in both cultures
  • Influence of macro environmental factors
  • Conclusion

Overview: The assessment requires that students combine their pathway subject area knowledge across theory and practice with their abilities to problem solve, think critically and reflect on what it means to be a practitioner in their chosen pathway area of Management.
Learning Outcomes to be met by the Assignment

1. Critically evaluate information to form a reflective understanding of contemporary theories and developments across a range of management practices.
2. Propose solutions to a range of complex and/or unpredictable problems that arise from management practice.
3. Review and reflect to synthesise current thinking and practice in the field of organisational management.
4. Critically evaluate the impact of strategic decisions upon an organisation and its integrated practices.
5. Apply one’s own criteria for self- and peer-assessment and consider not only the product outcome, but also the learning process.
6. Demonstrate capacity for independent learning and self-directed development.

TASK: The research report executes the action research outlined in the Assessment 1 of this module. The research report executes the action research outlined in the research proposal. The report has two essential components i.e. research report and reflective statement. The aim of the research report is to execute research into current Management practices with a focus on the types of problems and challenges that managers face in their professional environment. This part must conclude with primary and/or secondary evidence-based proposed business solutions and recommendations that address or mitigate the identified problem. The action research report must include a reflective statement to demonstrate and evidence the reflective understanding and self-evaluation of the student focusing on personal transition through action research i.e. at the beginning of the project, mid-way through the project and at the end of the project. This reflective statement should be supported with a digital portfolio of evidence in support of student’s submission. The word count for the report is 6000 words (+/- 10%).
Scope: You are on the Management pathway and so your research focus should be on topics from this area. Of course, you can refer to the outside influences of Marketing, Finance, Economics etc, but they shouldn’t be the focus. You need to demonstrate familiarity with a wide range of Management issues.
Independent Learning: This is an assessment that requires independent learning. This means that you are expected to research autonomously and with peers in order to make decisions e.g. it is up to you to research the various available theories and apply appropriate theory. Prior to submitting your work, please ensure that you have self-checked covering the objectives and requirements of this assessment.
Formative Feedback: You are required to submit your first draft of Action Research Report and digital portfolio by  via BlackBoard for developmental feedback. Feedback will be provided only to students who submit by the deadline.
Late Submission: The normal late submission protocol (i.e. submitting within 3 working days of the relevant deadline) does NOT apply to Capstone module submissions. If you fail to meet the summative deadline you will automatically get a zero for the assessment. Therefore it is vital that you submit all coursework for this module by the relevant deadline. If you experience any technical issues submitting your work, please contact the IT Service Desk to seek further help and inform your seminar tutor as soon as possible.
