Mark believes that people who create apps restricting or changing interaction with social media might be interested in his research.
Think about the research you've collected so far. What are some potential applications for this
research in the real world? In other words, what are some ways that this research could be used?
Nashville Detroit
Crime Rate 11.6% 58.51%
Local Clients 78% 82%
Success Rate After 6 months 87% 43%
Success Rate After 1 year 84% 32%
Re-offending Rate 3% 28%
With my topic being involuntary drug treatment vs. voluntary drug treatment, there are a couple of ways in which my research could be used. The main variable that is consistent
with my research, besides circumstance, is location of the drug treatment centers. Many of the drug treatment, or rehabilitation centers, I have researched follow about the same type of routine that is regulated by the government. The atmosphere is very different based on costs of treatment. While there are very high-priced treatment centers, they still follow close to the same type of treatment as any other place; just add $200 sheets, 3 course high priced meals, and tennis court. Most people who go to these ones are usually in the same state at least. Take the Nashville, Cumberland Heights for example. This is not the A-list celebrity drug treatment center; the average joe list is comprised of 78% local individuals. That means 78% of their clients live in Tennessee. Compare that to The Detroit Sacred Heart Rehabilitation Administration, of a list of almost 82% that live in Michigan. The environment, atmosphere, locals, are all completely different in these 2 cities. The crime rate in Nashville is 46.91% less
than Detroit. The success rate in Nashville is 84% while the success rate is 32% in Detroit. They cost the same price, they follow almost the same exact routine, and they have nearly the
same amenities. They are both 4 star facilities.
While they share many similarities, the one major difference is location. As my research continues, I am seeing more and more of this happening. Treatment centers in Chicago follow the same routines as ones in Kansas City. You can see by the percentages it is
not working. It is not working at all. This could provide reasoning to facilities in higher crime
rate/ higher population cities to change their schedules around and offer services that are more fitted for the population in that area. Possibly applying stricter schedules, business management classes, and help them to find a new direction for their life that makes sense to their lifestyle.
Week 4 Question 2
On the previous page, you identified possible applications of your research. Research whether
anyone has investigated or created those applications. Note your findings here.
I have found a couple student papers where others have posted their findings. I am beginning to question if I am taking an odd approach on this. I am focusing more on statistics
than I am opinions and other information. Behavioral Health of the Palm Beaches. (2016). THE SUCCESS RATES OF ADDICTION INTERVENTIONS ARE HIGHER WITH PROFESSIONAL INTERVENTIONISTS.
