Research Methods for Evidence-Based Practice

This is one of the best books on EBP I have read and I would recommend this for social work students in their final year of undergraduate studies and Postgraduate students.

Research methods for evidence-based practice is an eminently practical guide for students of social administration and social work. It enables them to identify and use the best available research, and provides them with the skills to evaluate their work and that of their agency. The chapters on outcome measures and research designs are sure to be particularly useful for novice practitioners.

This is a really helpful text that sets evidence based practice in context and guides the student towrad becomming an evidence based practitioner rather then simply discuss evidence based pratice.

My only critism of the book is the cost as I had hoped to be able to purcahse copies to distribute to Newly Qualified Social Workers in another area of my work but it was too expensive. It would have been a very useful book for this group of SWs to give them in their move from students to becoming registered social workers.

I teach undergraduates. I will consider for foundation graduate students.

In the CJ system, a repeated approach of gathering information and analyzing data is essential in gaining a better understanding of the social dynamics within a particular area of a city, town, or rural community, to determine where to use resources in order to heighten public safety. This particular text helps the CJ student to better understand this process. The previously used textbook failed to provide this guidance, although the students understood research methods, in general.
