The assignment in this module represents a 2-part project in which you will research a biomedical or psychosocial treatment indicated for a specific mental disorder. The two parts that you will submit for this assignment are an Executive Summary (referred to as Part 1 below), and an Infographic (noted as Part 2 below). Please note that, after you submit both the Executive Summary and Infographic here in this assignment, you are also required to submit your Infographic a second time into this .

The project will explore and explain:

1. Why a specific biomedical or psychosocial treatment is indicated for the disorder under discussion and what controlled studies or other acceptable evidence exists to demonstrate effectiveness of this treatment approach as compared to others.
2. Special considerations in the application of treatment approaches. E.g., for a particular medication, consider potential side-effects or for family therapeutic approaches, consider the need to get family buy-in or best practices when one family member is abusive, or age appropriateness of play therapy.
3. Cultural considerations: Report the demographic characteristics of participants represented in your peer-reviewed sources on your treatment approach. Are ethnic groups such as African Americans, Native Americans, and Latinos represented in these research studies? In 1-2 sentences, what are the implications of that for a practitioner implementing this treatment approach with a client from one of those groups?
4. Note: Do not use quotations of other people’s words in any part of this assignment (points will be deducted for use of quoted material in either Parts 1 or 2 of the assignment). Articles referenced should be paraphrased into your own words to demonstrate your understanding and mastery of the content.

Part 1 of this project is a 4-page maximum, double-spaced paper on a disorder covered during the course. The intended audience includes your colleagues and stakeholders interested in this topic. The paper should include a problem/needs statement (prevalence and demographic information of groups most affected by the disorder of focus), a summary of the research, special considerations, and cultural considerations. Do not waste time describing the disorder in any detail unless such description is essential for the understanding of the treatment you will discuss. Assume that we all know the signs and symptoms of the disorder and do not need a multi-page description of it. Again, you may focus on a disorder that we cover during the course. If you have any doubts or questions, please consult with the instructor.

Please use normal APA referencing style for Part-1 of the assignment. This means your papers should include a cover page with appropriate spacing and headers with page numbers. Additionally, you should follow APA format for in-text citations, spacing, headings within your paper with a separate double spaced reference page using correct formats for your required references. * A minimum of 5 peer-reviewed references are required. If for any reason you are unclear about what is meant by peer-reviewed, please make sure you reach out to your Instructor. Please make sure to save and submit the summary in PDF format.
