Open an MSWord document and save it as Lastname Firstname Identify and Research Solutions.

In this section of the outline, you will examine a minimum of three (3) different solutions to the problem you defined in Module 2. In order to complete Module 3, you are required to interview community members regarding the problem that you identified in Module 2.

The interview that you participated in during Credit Unit 2 has prepared you to interview individuals for the Competency Assessment for this Module. The purpose of conducting the interviews with community members and/or leaders is to obtain their proposed solutions to your identified problem. Each of the three (3) different solutions you obtain via interviews must be researched.

For each of the solutions you should address the questions and prompts in sections III and IV of the Sample Group Outline (eTextbook) located in Chapter 6: Group Work, page 225.

In order to obtain three (3) different solutions to your identified problem in Module 2, you are required to interview a minimum five (5) but no more than seven (7) people. Choose people to interview that occupy different positions in the community. For example, you may choose to interview an elected official, a school teacher, a stay at-home parent, a small business owner and a college student. All of your interview subjects must be at least 18 years old and able to provide consent to be interviewed.

You may conduct your interviews face-to-face or over the telephone. You may send your interviewees the questions via email only as a last option, meaning they are not available to meet with you in person or speak with you over the phone. You must gain consent from the interviewees prior to asking them questions. You may use the sample consent form below:
