Case Study Format
Case studies could be done for different purposes. In general, case study is an in-depth inquiry of individual, group, community or specific event and program.
As a BSW social work student I followed the Case Study format to understand Client and his/her problem in my field practicum. I guess the format could be useful for my fellow students. It is a general format. Student can enrich the format as per their requirement and understanding. Key note on case study is that try to collect information as much as possible.
1.       General information (age, sex, education, religion, address, etc)
2.       Family back ground (history of parents, # of sibling, financial and marital status, educational background, identify if any of them has same kind of problem/issues as of your client )
3.       Economic status (employment history, income and expenses)
4.       Relationship (with family, parents, spouse etc)
5.       Health (disease, treatment, needs)
6.       Current/existing problems of client (history of problems, reason, impact of problems in his and other's life incuding social, mental and economic problems)
7.       Problem solving methods (Steps taken for problem solving, Government/NGOs services using by client,  effectiveness/weakness of the problem solving process,)
8.       Recommendation and conclusion.
