Question

1).Which type of research design (experimental or quasi-experimental) do you think is more likely to have higher validity? Why?

2).What type of methodology would you use to evaluate the effectiveness of a family preservation/child welfare intervention aimed at reducing the risk for future neglect or abuse in families referred for abuse or neglect?

Answer 1

1) Experimental design is more likely to have higher validity than the quasi experimental design, because in Experimental the research include randomization so there will be equal chance to all candidate but it was not applied in quasi design and also the control study was not used in Quasi but the Experimental design will do.

2) The type of methodology that will be appropriate to use for the evaluation of family preservation or child welfare intervention aimed at reducing the risk for the future neglect or abuse in families referred for neglect is descriptive methodology whereas the condition is completely evaluated and set a way for solution to the problem in a qualitative manner.
