In the article, ‘Methods and Tools, The Rich Picture: A Tool for Reasoning About Work Context’ (Monk & Howard, 1998), the authors describe the concept of a rich picture and its benefits for identifying stakeholder biases and concerns. As a scholarly practitioner and researcher, you are encouraged to see yourself as part of the research problem and environment. For this Learning Set, you will begin your DBA journey by examining your own practice, organization or particular environment and assessing the issues that arise from it. Reflect on the process for creating the rich picture that was outlined in this week’s media resource.
Questions that encourage reflection are the key to significant, transformative learning. Reflection increases self-awareness which helps people relate to others more genuinely (Marquardt, 2005, pp.120).
You have explored literature on action research, collaborative learning and reflexive thinking. As an action researcher, part of your role in this programme will be to question assumptions, biases and processes. Similarly, you will also be encouraged to accept questioning of your own preferences, thoughts and biases from your colleagues. To engage your colleagues, answer the following questions in response to this week’s Learning Set Question, ‘Put yourself in the rich picture and discuss key issues and questions that you might consider for further exploration’.
With these thoughts in mind:
In an approximately 750-word response, address the following and post to your Learning Set
Consider the rich picture presented in this week’s media resource. Are there biases or concerns that you had not considered?
• Use the Monk & Howard (1998) article as well as the ideas outlined in this week’s media resource to develop a ‘rich picture’ of your practice location and associated issues.
• Explain what the rich picture shows:
o What is your professional practice?
o Where is it located?
o Who are the primary stakeholders, and what are their questions, concerns and biases?
• Put yourself in the picture and discuss key issues and questions that you might consider for further exploration.
Think about your environment and the issues you identified for your particular practice and then, continue your dialogue with your Learning Set by addressing the following questions:
• What assumptions am I or others making about my environment? How do these reflect a bias or my subjectivity?
• What implications are there for my current practice? What are the consequences for not taking action on this issue or issues?
• What (about my environment or this issue) do I need to understand more about through research?
• How will I review my findings from action and research? How will I review my learning?
In working out your responses to the Learning Set, you should choose examples from your own experience or find appropriate cases on the Web that you can discuss. Credit will be given for references you make to relevant examples from real companies.Also, remember to cite and reference examples from the readings and journal articles for this week.

You should locate a site outside Greater London (outside any of the London Boroughs). The site should be in the order of 0.5-1.5 acres in size. It may be a greenfield or brownfield site, but it should have clear prospects for development. The site should be located in England. The site submitted should be different to any previously submitted for this or any other module. If a site has previously been submitted that should clearly be stated and you should be clear about how and why the site now submitted differs.
You should prepare a property and planning report explaining the planning history of the site and why you consider it suitable for development. This should be referenced to Planning Policy both local and national and a good answer will incorporate Inspectorate Appeal decisions as necessary. If the site has an express planning consent you should critically consider whether this consent can be ‘improved’; again by reference to Planning Policy, Guidance and Appeal decisions.
Consider what the most applicable (single use – i.e you can assume just one – most suitable use, for the site). For the most applicable use on the site prepare with reference to market comparables and other data sources an outline residual valuation to arrive at a figure you would be prepared to recommend be paid for the site. Support and annotate your valuation. You should clearly reason why the use you have chosen is the most suitable.
You should not decide to construct a single house on your chosen site.
The work should reference the law applicable to England and Wales.
Marking criteria:
Quality and use of written English.
Presentation and layout – make it look professional.
Choice of site and reasoning for the use.
Planning background and report. To include Policy reasoning.
Outline residual valuation, accuracy, approach, comment and supporting information.

Part II Page 2
Purpose
The purpose of this discussion is to discuss the importance of screening and early intervention for adolescents.
Instructions
Screening, Brief, Intervention and Referral to Treatment (SBIRT) is an early intervention approach for addressing substance abuse concerns and risks amongst adolescents. The SBIRT assessment tools allow practitioners to work collaboratively with an individual at risk and work to develop an intervention prior to the need of intensified and specialized care.
Reflecting on the literature from previous courses on the SBIRT model, existing literature and aids available in this course on SBIRT, address the following questions:
•At what age do you believe it\’s best for adolescents to undergo the screening process for substance use? Why do you believe this is the best age?
•If you had to choose one, which is more important: using a tool like CRAFFT to engage youth or allowing them to participate in the intervention process?
•Of the literature you\’ve reviewed (in this course or a previous course), which SBIRT assessment tool has been the most helpful/influential for you and why?

Module 2 Direction

Community Statistics Assignment
Overview: Statistical Health Data for a Community

In this assignment, you will review and assess statistical data for the community you selected for your community Windshield Survey. By reviewing demographic, health, crime, income, and educational data, and by comparing local data with city, county, state, and national data, you will be able to determine how well the selected community functions.

Your statistical analysis will address the community in general using the categories noted above. In addition, based on your observations from Module 1 subjective assignment, (windshield survey and key informants) provide Morbidity, Mortality (M&M) and risk data for the health problems you identified in your community, and gather comparative data from the local, city, county, state and national levels specific to those health issues. For Example 1: if you observed obesity in your community then present obesity rates and health conditions associated with obesity [i.e. CVD, HD, Depression, etc.). These variables may include the following: gender (who does this problem affect the most, men or women); age distribution; ethnicity or racial group(s) mostly-affected; morbidity and mortality rates; any data related to life-expectancy in light of the health issues; is there a geographic area where the health problems mainly exist; is there a relationship between the health issue(s) and environmental health hazards; are these life-threatening health issues?

This type of inquiry in Module 2 Part II will provide the basis for the next paper in this course, the Nursing Intervention paper. In that assignment, you will develop a community health nursing intervention(s) to address the community health problems you have defined. There is a progression in problem definition from the Windshield Survey to the Statistical Analysis, to the recommendations for community health nursing interventions. You will be able to follow the unfolding of this process from problem-identification to recommendations for intervention. This process requires skills in data-gathering, data analysis, critical thinking, evidence-based nursing, and planning.
