The following checklist provides a tool to develop DSW Doctoral Projects in social work contexts. The doctoral project involves multiple steps, including identification of the local problem and development of the practice-focused question(s) to address it, and a review of the background and context related to the problem (Section 1); a plan for systematic collection of data and evidence (Section 2); analysis of those data to inform a solution or strategy that addresses the practice-focused question(s) (Section 3); and product(s) or recommendation(s)-for-action based on those results (Section 4). All items may not be relevant to your particular study; please consult with your chair for guidance.
Instructions for students:
Indicate on the checklist the page numbers (use the actual document page number, not the MS Word pagination) where the appropriate content is located.
Respond to comments from your supervisory committee and/or URR members in the comment history box. Do not delete previous comments. Just add your response and use some means to clearly identify your remarks (e.g., colored, bolded, or italicized text).
Instructions for the DSW Doctoral Project committee chair, second member, and URR member.
Provide specific feedback in the comment history column. Do not delete previous comments. Just add your response and use some means to clearly identify your remarks (e.g., colored, bolded, or italicized text).
If you made detailed comments on the draft (using track changes and comments), you can make reference to such comments in the draft rather than copy the text into the checklist comment history section.

Qualitative Interviews
PREMISE
Your premise paper should be submitted to the DSW Coordinator for approval by the Program Director before enrolling in DSW Capstone Project Research.
Problem Statement: Briefly describe a social work practice problem and why it is important to address within the context of social work practice.
This study intends to explore the views of social workers in relation to depression among older immigrant African women currently living in west Massachusetts. Depression among elderly immigrant women stands out as an essential phenomenon for study in social work, considering the extent to which the condition affects vulnerable populations. Immigrants typically face stressors relating to migration experience, which may cause or intensify mental health problems.
Research Question(s): Identify your preliminary practice-focused research question(s).
1. From the perspective and benefits of social workers, what factors influence older immigrant African womens adaptive capacity in Metro West Massachusetts?
2. What mental health services do social workers offer to older immigrant African women in Metro West Massachusetts from the social work perspective?
3. How do social workers assess the need for mental health services for older immigrant African women in Metro West Massachusetts?
4. What service modifications can social workers introduce in practice to enhance mental health service delivery for older immigrant African women in Metro West Massachusetts?
Theoretical Framework: Identify the theory or theories you will use to frame your project and briefly explain how the theory(ies) applies.
The theoretical framework that can be used to frame this project is the structural-functional theory. This theory should play a key role in understanding the onset of depression among older immigrant African women,…

Theoretical Framework: Identify the theory or theories you will use to frame your project and briefly explain how the theory(ies) applies.
The theoretical framework that can be used to frame this project is the structural-functional theory. This theory should play a key role in understanding the onset of depression among older immigrant African women, given the various social demands associated with being a migrant. Painful experiences may increase the possibility of suffering from stressful episodes. Stress and vulnerability add up to the chance of developing depression, where changes in the environment, lack of coping mechanisms, and lack of support have an adverse impact on the mental health outcome of this group.
Methodology: Briefly describe the projects design, sources of evidence, and how they will be obtained.
This will be an exploratory study to uncover the views of social workers who work with African women immigrants located in Metro West Massachusetts. The data types of the study will be qualitative as the researcher will rely on interviews with the social workers. The reason for selecting this type of study is that qualitative research provides insight into the participants' feelings.
