One of the many reasons social workers conduct needs
assessment is to provide support for new programs. Social
workers have many methods available to collect necessary data
for a needs assessment.
Social workers can use existing data from a wide range of
sources, including local and national reports by government and
nonprofit agencies, as well as computerized mapping resources.
Social workers can gather new data through interviews and
surveys with individuals and focus groups. This data can
provide the evidence that supports the need for the program.
To prepare for this Assignment, review the needs assessment
plans that you and your classmates generated for this week’s
Discussion. Also, review the logic models that you created in
Week 7 and any literature on needs of caregivers that you used
to generate them. Consider the following to stimulate your
thinking:
Getting information about the needs of the target population:
Who would informants be?
What is your purpose for interacting with them?
What questions would you ask?
What method would you use (interview, focus group,
questionnaire)?
Finding potential clients:
Who would informants be?
What is your purpose for interacting with them?
What questions would you ask?
What method would you use?
Interacting with the target population:
Who would informants be?
What is your purpose for interacting with them?
What questions would you ask?
What method would you use?
By Day 7
Submit
a 2- to 3-page paper outlining a hypothetical needs assessment
related to the support group program for caregivers. Include the
following:
The resources needed to operate this service
The program activities
The desired outcomes
A plan for gathering information about the population served
Justifications for your plans and decisions
A one-paragraph conclusion describing how you might conduct
a follow-up to the needs assessment at the implementation stage
of the program evaluation
