Activity 1
In this article four different research methods are used to identify and explain issues while also
improving the outcomes of individuals using health care services. These research methods were used
in this research to examine the roles of the local authority in the provision of AAS and identify good
quality practice. Focus groups are an observational method that consists of gathering conversations
that are guided by a prepared leader . In this article focus groups were used to broaden the
researchers' knowledge on how the participants feel about the article's topic of interest which are the
roles of local authority social services in the provision of the AAS and the funding towards the
service. It is utilized to study feelings on an assigned theme, and afterward to manage future activity,
focus groups are a decent method to assemble inside and out data about a network's considerations
and assessments on a point. Reverify your objectives. This method is carried out by the researcher.
Within this activity they will observe and take in information and conclusions from what they have
seen. This method can be beneficial because it allows the researcher to fully see everything going on
in more depth and detail and the sources of information coming from the observation can be more
reliable.
The strengths of focus groups within this research is that it is not expensive to carry out and the data
collected from this observation is gathered and identified quickly giving the researcher more headway
o reaching the aim of the research, however focus groups can display weaknesses such as it being
time consuming which can put a strain on the information given it can also cause the participant to act
differently or become uncomfortable continuously being watched and observed leading to the sway of
the focus group leaving the research to become unreliable and in some cases dishonest. Although this
method can be reliable because they can gather dependable and solid data through a cycle that
advances collaboration among understudy members. They can uphold quantitative information from
understudies and be utilized to help educational programs change.
Another method of research that was used was surveys , this method was used in the article to identify
and recognize which local authority was involved in funding and commissioning in the AA provision
for adults. this method means that an individual will answer a series of closed and open questions for
the researcher to gather the data and information from the survey, surveys are seen as beneficial
because they gain a large amount of information at once and surveys are less time consuming and be
carried out quickly giving the researcher more time to break down and identify key findings with the
surveys taken.However the use of of surveys has its weaknesses they have been known to be less
informative and insightful , this causes the data to be collect by the researcher to lack depth, the
participant taking the survey can be dishonest leaving the researcher with less useful information on
the participants feeling,behaviours and motivations.
The use of surveys can be reliable because they portray the qualities of a mass population. No other
examination strategy can give this expansive ability, which guarantees a more exact example to
accumulate focused on outcomes which makes sure to make determinations and settle on significant
choices.The method of interviews was used in this research with 25 respondents. These interviews
were used to clarify a more close to home type of examination contrasted with polls. The interviewer
can test or ask subsequent exploration inquiries of the participant. Now and again, subjects may begin
to meet the interviewer.Strengths of interviews is that it gives the researcher more direct feedback
from the participants , this also gives the interviewer the opportunity to explain and clarify to the
participant in greater detail. There can also be weaknesses to this such as the interview being time
consuming, taking the interview longer to be carried out, interviews between the participant and the
researcher can also influence the participants views and opinions when the researcher may start to
display biased views that sway views that may sway the participants.
Another method that was used was case studies, 4 case studies. A case study is an examination
approach that is utilized to produce an inside and out, multi-facete comprehension of an unpredictable
issue in its genuine setting. It is a set up examination plan that is utilized broadly in a wide assortment
of orders, especially in sociology. In the article these case case studies revealed that four models of
the local authorities were involved in funding and managing an AA service.Strengths of case studies
are that great deal of detail to be gathered that would not ordinarily be effortlessly acquired by other
exploration plans. The information gathered is ordinarily much more extravagant and of more
noteworthy than what can be found through other exploratory designs.Within the case study , logical
examinations can be led. case studies can assist experimenters with adjusting thoughts and produce
novel speculations which can be utilized for later testing. However case studies are commonly on one
individual, however there likewise will in general just be one experimenter gathering the information.
This can prompt predisposition in information assortment, which can impact results more than in
