This paper observed a large family residing in the U.S. in order to determine the internal, external and contextual status of the family members. A structural assessment of the status as perceived by the observer was made using the Calgary Family Assessment Model.

Health Care – Ethical Issues in Evaluation Research Ben is a professor and Alyssa is his graduate student in health sciences. Ben is the program chair for a conference with publications that are "refereed" or reviewed by an expert board of editors before publication. The conference has a policy that accepted papers must be presented by their authors but Ben does not mention this policy to Alyssa. He suggests that Alyssa submit a paper to the conference and that he will present it because the conference is being held abroad and he cannot support her trip to the conference. Alyssa writes the paper entirely with her own research while funded by an external fellowship, and submits it with herself as the sole author. She gives several drafts to Ben, who does not comment on any of them. Alyssa's paper is accepted by the conference, she is then advised of their policy about paper presentation by authors and she is surprised by it. She asks Ben about the policy and he curtly replies that she will have to make him a co-author on her paper. Alyssa finds this unreasonable under the circumstances but cannot afford to attend the conference on her own. Ben committed several ethical violations. He used his superior educational/professional position to induce unethical behavior by Alyssa and use Alyssa's research and resulting paper as his own without contributing to either the research or the paper. In addition, Ben acted unethically as a fellow researcher/writer, again by inducing unethical behavior and treating its fruits as his own. Alyssa acted unethically by using her external fellowship to perform research and write a resulting paper for another conference, though the fruits of her research/writing belong to the source of her external fellowship. In view of those unethical behaviors, Alyssa can take several courses of action, the best of which appears to be submitting the paper to the source of her external fellowship and withdrawing the paper from consideration by Ben's conference.
