Write a 2-page response to the scholarly, peer-reviewed article you selected. In your response, identify and briefly summarize the article.

Then address the following: To what extent do the research findings align with your professional experiences? How might you use this evidence-based research to inform your work as an advanced human services professional practitioner?

Provide a link or copy of the article for your Instructor.

As a graduate student, it is not enough to absorb the information from a research study. Rather, you must consider that information’s value, react to the information, and apply it.

You may have noticed while preparing for this week’s Discussion that reading a primary research article is different than reading other types of material. Articles can be dense and often contain tables and figures representing data. You may have noticed citations to other works. All of these features take some getting used to.

In this Assignment, you have another opportunity to practice interacting with human services research. You first search in the library databases and access a scholarly, peer-reviewed article. Then you respond to that article, weighing how the research findings apply to your human services work.
