Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The social worker is exploring various environmental factors that could be affecting Alicia's situation, including her access to food, school stress and potential spiritual resources. These are all part of the Ecological Model, which considers multiple levels of influence on an individual's behavior and well-being. The Systems theory and Psychosocial theory could also be applicable, but there is no explicit mention of examining Alicia's relationships or psychological development in this scenario. The Medical Model is not relevant since there is no indication that Alicia is experiencing a medical problem that needs to be treated.
