Please watch the video about the World Bank and its role in encouraging the development of Africa’s agribusiness as well as the video about the IMF and Jamaica. There are many who believe that institutions such as the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund create dependency issues as developing countries rely upon for aid without being required to address systemic issues. After watching these two videos, what role do you see global organizations taking in aiding the economic development of developing nations? Should nations be required to provide evidence of internal change before seeking financial assistance from outsiders?

Week 9: Intervention: Selected Populations
Introduction

what is a “special” or selected population? How might substance abuse look when it appears in selected populations? Do the problems of substance abuse and addiction affect members of some selected populations differently from how it affects other populations or the “general” population? And, most important to your work as a counselor, how might you best treat and meet the needs and concerns of members of selected populations?

This week, you will consider how intervention may be tailored to selected populations, in order to best treat the needs of individuals in those populations. You also will explore case studies in need of crisis intervention and examine the ethical and legal considerations related to these interventions.
Learning Outcomes
By the end of this week, you should be able to:
� Apply intervention strategies to selected populations
� Develop and apply a crisis intervention strategy
� Analyze ethical and legal considerations related to crisis intervention with a selected population
� Apply prevention strategies to a selected population
Selected Populations
The term selected populations refers to any group who operates outside the major power differential in mainstream society. The criteria for determining a selected population can include age, gender, sexuality, nationality, or a number of other factors. As individuals from selected populations bring with them different types of considerations when they seek substance abuse counseling, becoming familiar with the characteristics associated with substance abuse in these populations is essential for a counselor who works with them.

In this Discussion, you will reflect on the unique needs and characteristics of selected populations related to substance abuse and addiction. You also will consider how substance abuse counseling may address these particular needs, taking into account any challenges and ethical and legal concerns that may arise.

To prepare for this Discussion:

� Review this week�s Learning Resources, focusing on risk factors, cultural considerations, barriers to treatment, and the focus of prevention and intervention for each of the populations discussed.

� Perform an academic search in the Walden Library and select an article published in a peer-reviewed journal that discusses substance abuse and/or addiction in a selected population of your choice and that addresses the needs of that population.

� Reflect on intervention strategies that may be fitting for the selected population discussed in the article, taking into consideration any special needs of the selected population.

� Select two intervention strategies that might be used with this population.

NOTE: With these thoughts in mind:

Write a brief summary of an article that illustrates the needs of a selected population as related to substance abuse and/or addiction. Then, briefly describe at least two intervention strategies that might be used with this population, given those needs. Provide specific examples and explain how each intervention might be applied.

Note: Put the name of the population you are discussing in the first line of your post. You will be asked to respond to a colleague who discussed a different population from the one you selected.

Be sure to support your postings and responses with specific references to the Learning Resources.

respiratory rate, and low blood pressure. Ms. A states, “Menorrhagia and dysmenorrheal have been a problem for 10-12 years, and I take 1,000 mg of aspirin every 3 to 4

hours for 6 days during menstruation.” During the summer months, while playing golf, she also takes aspirin to avoid “stiffness in my joints.”

Laboratory values are as follows:
Hemoglobin = 8 g/dl
Hematocrit = 32%
Erythrocyte count = 3.1 x 10/mm
