Scenario One: You are a social worker in an outpatient clinical setting. You receive referrals from juvenile court counselors (also known as probation officers) to
provide clinical assessments and therapy for juveniles aged 12 to 17 suspected of having a mental illness such as depression and/or a substance
abuse issue. In your work over the last several years, you noticed that when a youth has been in treatment for several months, they tend to have
fewer arrests for crimes. You are interested in conducting a research study about what is at the core of this outcome.
