Research Writing

I need you to write a research artProduce a 1400 word, APA style research paper titled: "Policy Website Evaluation: Implications for HUS Service Workers." The paper should analyze 4 websites that focus on a policy issue of relevance to HUS service workers (e.g., mental health, education, poverty, drugs, etc.). Each website will be described and assessed in detail using the CRAAP method for evaluating websites, and then will be ranked in terms of usefulness to HUS workers. Use the attached worksheet ([login to view URL] to evaluate and score the sites. You do NOT need to submit this form, but you may reference the scores in your paper.

[login to view URL] about the four parts of a social welfare system as discussed on page 5. These four parts will help you assess the purpose of the websites you review. The websites may have information on one or more of these parts. For example, consider whether the website seems to provide more information on policy analysis (see page 83 in your book), or whether it focuses more on issues and programs (e.g., Medicaid , Social Security, ). Perhaps it is more concerned with advocacy (creating, and changing laws), see pages 391-393; 398-402. [login to view URL] the CRAAP handout.

[login to view URL] will identify the website evaluation tool (CRAAP) and briefly explain why it will be used to assess the websites. [login to view URL] will identify the policy area and briefly justify the choice based on relevance to HUS.

One source is the National Organization for Human Services; two additional, reliable sources are needed as well.
