Prevention requires understanding the factors that influence violence. CDC uses a four-level social-ecological model to better understand violence and the effect of potential prevention strategies.Â¹ This model considers the complex interplay between individual, relationship, community, and societal factors.hese factors include social and cultural norms that support violence as an acceptable way to resolve conflicts. Other large societal factors include the health, economic, educational and social policies that help to maintain economic or social inequalities between groups in society.
Case finding is a proactive attempt to diagnose probands for cascade screening. A method of identifying vulnerable people who may not be in touch with health and social care services, using either highly specific local criteria or nationally validated criteria to assess the relative risk of functional decline.
Case study as a research method is often indexed in most undergraduate research textbooks as neither quantitative nor qualitative. Little attention is paid to the usefulness of this method, with an average of two pages devoted to this research approach (Burns & Grove, 1999). This chapter will provide a step-by-step guide to this research method. The goal of this chapter is to translate this step-wise approach into a âcurriculumâ for teaching case study method. In Preparation Case study method is indexed in many introductory research textbooks and is often taught in qualitative research methods courses that discuss a variety of methods.
