PSY 200 Case Study Final Project Guidelines and Rubric

Overview
There are two major projects for this course.

Scenario/Case Study: This is a final project (with milestones) in which students will analyze a scenario of an individual dealing with an addiction in order to
explore potential diagnoses that could apply and to articulate a treatment plan for the individual. The goal of this assignment is to understand how addictions
impact the individual, family, community, and/or society.

This assessment will assess your mastery with respect to the following course outcomes:

 Evaluate major intervention techniques for their effectiveness in treating addictions

 Differentiate between the physiological and psychological effects of mood-altering substances on behaviors and mental processes

 Analyze addictive behaviors for their social and psychological effects on the individual, family, community, or society

 Differentiate between the biological, environmental, and philosophical perspectives on addiction

Prevention Program: Students will design a small prevention program that could be implemented at a health fair, at a workplace, or in a school. The goal of this
assignment is to articulate the social, biological, and psychological consequences of addictive behaviors to an at-risk population and contextualize issues of
addiction in historical and social frameworks.

This assessment will assess your mastery with respect to the following course outcomes:

 Analyze addictive behaviors for their social and psychological effects on the individual, family, community, or society

 Identify connections between historical milestones and contemporary approaches to addictions
