The importance of 'evidence based practice' in health and social
work has been emphasised by recent policy and legislative
initiatives, but how do professionals decide which research
findings are valuable and relevant to them? This accessible
introduction provides social work students and practitioners with
the knowledge they need both to evaluate research and to apply it
to their own practice. Exploring the range of research
methodologies used in health and social care, from randomised
control trials to surveys, interviews, experimental designs and
ethnographic approaches, Michael Sheppard discusses the strengths
and limitations of each and shows the reader how to identify the
assumptions underlying them. Sheppard uses case examples from
practice to demonstrate how research messages can be applied in a
range of situations, from developing social services for ethnic
minority groups to working with an individual suffering from mental
illness. Each chapter includes exercises and questions to test the
reader's understanding of key concepts in each chapter, as well as
examples of research articles for guided discussion. Appraising and
Using Social Research in the Human Services is both a core textbook
for social work undergraduates and a useful resource for all
trainers, practitioners, service managers and postqualifying
students in health and social care.
