Using graphs to present data Constructing graphs and interpreting data Types of graphs commonly used in social work Bar charts Pie charts Histograms Line charts Charts for single system designs You must use graphs that are appropriate to the level of measurement associated with the variable you are measuring Bar Chart: Number of children with income under the poverty line Pie Chart Percents for Pie Chart Histogram: Ages of MSW students responding to exit survey Line Chart Techniques for Making Comparisons: Histogram Techniques for Making Comparisons: Line Chart Single System Designs Used by practitioners to measure whether intervention is effective. Not a formal evaluation of worker performance. Comparisons are made by comparing baseline measures to intervention phase. Measures used are usually ratio: standardized scores or counting behaviors. Behavioral counts are usually self-reports Sometimes comparisons are made across clients, types of interventions, or types of behaviors Single –system Design Graph – Single System Designs include At least two phases, baseline and intervention. (AB design) Baseline is a period when clients do not receive an intervention. Intervention is when treatment is offered. The reason this is done is because things may be happening in the client’s life that affects the target behavior – you want to control for these effects by alternating no treatment with treatment – you can see if patterns are similar during both phases. Intervention is successful if there are changes in the trend line (up or down) after the intervention starts Other types of designs ABA (baseline, intervention, baseline. ABC (baseline, Intervention #1, Intervention #2, etc.) Multisystems designs – targets two or more behaviors in the same client or two or more clients with the same problems and target behavior or attribute. Baseline for client number two is extended until after the intervention has started for client #1 in order to further control for the effects of
