Workshops: Research

Barry L. Jackson, Ph.D.

Basics for Conducting Research
         
Professional counselors need to know how research is conducted even if they themselves are not inclined to conduct research.
          Knowing how quality research is undertaken will assist the practitioner in reading and evaluating the value of published studies.
          This program is designed for the professional who has limited experience with conducting social services research or individuals
          wishing to refresh their existing skills.  To request more information, please click here.
 
Creating and Running Focus Groups

Designing Outreach and Community Intervention Programs
          Prevention programming is generally given scant attention, due in part to the limited resources provided in most communities
          for the provision of mental health services.  In addition it is difficult to demonstrate the effectiveness of prevention efforts. Thus, in an
          era in which evidence of effectiveness is required for funding prevention is neglected.  This program is appropriate for Mental Health
          Service Providers, Administrators, Community Organizers, and University Counselors and Administrators who are concerned with
          the provision of improved Mental Health Service prevention.  To request more information, please click here.

Understanding Research Methods & Statistics

Using Epidemiological Techniques To Track Mental Health Problems
          Epidemiological techniques have proven effective in public health for more than a century.  The techniques used by public
          health planners, physicians and nurses have utility for mental health.  This is an introduction to the techniques and an example
          of their usefulness.  This program is intended for mental health service providers, researchers and academicians seeking a better 
          understanding of mental health and community relationships.  To request more information, please

Using the DSM in the Assessment of Addiction
          The DSM provides valuable information on the classification of substance use/abuse symptoms and behaviors. This 
          information is useful in differential and dual diagnosis and subsequent treatment.  The program will provide a detailed look
          at the relevant sections of the DSM and discuss practical diagnostic difficulties and the decision making tree.  This program is 
          intended for mental health service providers in addiction services.  To request more information, please click here.
