Problem
Communicate via phone, video conference, or face-to-face with a professional who provides services to the group of people that you have identified for your final project. Use this interview as an opportunity to clarify your understanding of the issue and the people impacted by it. Even though you have discussed your list of questions with your classmates and instructor, it is up to you which specific questions you will ask during your interview.
Interview this professional on topics such as the population in general, the problems in general, what specific steps the organization has taken to address the issue, the outcomes of those efforts, areas still needing to be addressed, and any other topics relevant to your needs assessment. Walk away with a detailed understanding of the problem. Remember, you are using the information that the professional shares with you to inform your research and critical analysis of the issue. It is your responsibility to complete the components of your final project.
The response should include a reference list. Double-space, using Times New Roman 12 pnt font, one-inch margins, and APA style of writing and citations.
