Substance Abuse And Mental Health Services Administration Assignment
Other
The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) recently published the “Behavioral Health Barometer United States, 2015” which can be located at https://www.samhsa.gov/data/sites/default/files/2015_National_Barometer.pdf (PDF attached).
Select a single topic of interest from the “Contents” section of the report. Within that topic identify two “charts/graphs” and explain why you selected that topic. Additionally, provide a brief written description of the information depicted in the two charts/graphs (i.e., title, information/data presented, and key findings), potential impacts of information learned from both charts/graphs, and how the information from these charts/graphs may be of use to you as a social work practitioner. Lastly, tell me what you found particularly interesting about this topic from the two charts/graphs and what you found to be thought provoking.
Please write a 3-4 page response using 12-point Times New Roman font, double-spaced to the prompts above. Your written response should demonstrate understanding of that week’s topic by connecting the information presented on the website with the assigned chapters as well as your field placement (which is a School Social Worker)
