As discussed in the interview process and with those within the Human Services Department, I will be assisting in their daily assignments and duties. Also, I will help prepare for the annual domestic violence press conference that MAG does. My main duty will be to further the domestic violence legal assistance study by sending out questionnaires, conducting interviews, and compiling and analyzing information.
In my opinion this will be a great experience, due in part that I have not yet facilitated a study in a professional setting. I do have a grasp of what to expect from courses that I had taken in undergrad studies in statistics in political science and research methods in political science.
So the beginning stages on me coming on board with this study will include reviewing the questionnairs for errors and type of questioning. With studies like this it is very important that the questions are not loaded and do not try to influence those participating to choose one answer over another. Also, due in nature to the sensitivity of the subject, it is good to have open ended questions that will allow those involved to express their own opinions. The questionnaires will be sent out to dv victims and those professionals in the courts (judges, jps, commissioners, attorneys, advocates, social workers). It is exciting to be a part of something that seeks to help those in need within the community, and I happy to be on board with HS at MAG.
