This is the first time I am using this service, so please bear with me. I’m not entirely sure what to expect – I’m just desperate and haven’t slept in a week.
The paper was due yesterday, but my professor has granted me until today to submit it. So, the sooner, the better.
The assignment is a Master’s thesis proposal for a research methods class. The expectation is roughly 12 pages long: 6 pages for the intro section and 6 pages for the method. It does not need to be a career-defining piece; all it has to do is get me a decent grade.
If you’re willing and able to write it yourself, that works for me! But, I would be happy to collaborate and get coaching if that will get things done faster. I know the Pacific Islander literature pretty well. And I have a decent library of sources to work with, so you shouldn’t have to do any lit searches. 12 Pages is just a lot to write, and I can barely think right now. I’m also awful with the intricacies of research design and data analytics, so I will need you to know what to use.
The prompt for the assignment is below:
General Guidelines.
1)
The papers will be graded according to the APA-7
style.
2)
The introduction should include references to at
least 10 relevant empirical papers from peer-reviewed journals that are
specifically relevant to the proposed research project.
3)
Papers should include ALL OF the
following: title page, abstract, introduction, and method section. The method
section should contain at least the
following sections, not necessarily in this order: participants, measures,
procedure, data analytic method, and power analyses.
4)
Papers will be graded according to adherence to APA
style, logical coherence/persuasiveness, accuracy, spelling, and grammar.
5)
Papers should be in a proposal format (e.g., the
analytic approach will consist of…),
rather than a report format (e.g., the analytic approach utilized consisted
of…).
My outline:
Backround
–Psychotherapy research provides very little insight about Pacific Islanders beyond demonstrating a significant mental health burden and low service seeking.
– Researchers rarely disaggregate PIs from Asian Americans. However, this has hidden the severe needs of PIs among the larger and healthier Asian population.
Even fewer studies recognize the cultural diversitying the Nativ NHPI category. e Hawaiian and Pacific IslanderT(
– There are 3 culturally and geographically distinct NHPI racial subgroups: Polynesians, Melanesians, and Micronesians, among dozens of cultures and hundreds of languages.
– Aggregate NHPI data research shows they have the highest suicidal attempts during emerging adulthood.
Also experience high depression (PhQ- 9), anxiety, Gad 7).
There is some qualitative studies that substance abuse (alcohol, tobacco, marijuana), and ACE trauma are major issues in a community, but little quant data.
– High mental health stigma and high help-seeking stigma.
NHPIs are both indigenous populations (Hawaii, Guam, American Samoa) and immigrant populations (Tonga, Fiji, Western Samoa)
Differences in Gender, age, generation,
The current study:
– examine differences in mental health and mental health help seeking across different PI subethnic groups.
– Study design: Recruit a US NHPI sample to complete an online Qualtrics survey for demographic info.
– Have sample complete screenings for Suicide, depression, anxiety, substance(s) abuse, ACEs, (maybe PTSD?)
– Have sample complete Mental health self stigma assessment tool, Mental Help Seeking attitudes scale (MHSAS), and Mental Help Seeking intentions scale(MHSIS).
** I’m struggling with formulating the hypotheses and design
Hypothesis 1: Marginilized Demographics (women, low SES, 1st generation migrants) will report greater Mental health distress.
Hypothesis 2: Demographics ( men, older adults, 1st generation migrants) will have greater MH stigma
Hypothesis. 3: Higher intensity of Mental Distress will be associated with higher MHSIS and MHSAS
Hypothesis 4: Polynesians, Micronesians, and Melonesians will significantly differ on any MH, HS, or stigma measure, after accounting for other demographic differences.
