These two assignments are for my Research and Methods class. I need assistance with completing the assignments by Friday.(1) Assignments: Read the following articles on Needs Assessment and Program Evaluation: Astramovich, R.L. (2011). Needs assessment: A key evaluation tool for professional counselors. Ideas and Research You Can Use: VISTAS 2011.

Motor vehicle accidents are among the leading preventable causes of death in the United States every year. Distraction is one of the most common causes of automobile accidents, and talking to another person is a very common distraction.In an effort to observe the impact of conversation on driving, Drews, Pasupathi, and Strayer (2008) conducted a study using a driving simulator that tracks errors committed by drivers. The researchers varied the type of conversation. In one condition, participants had a conversation with a passenger; in another condition, participants talked on a cell phone. There was also a no conversation, control condition. As you would expect, having any conversation resulted in more driving errors. However, the number of driving errors was highest in the cell phone condition.Read this article: Drews, F., Pasupathi, M., & Strayer, D. (2008).
