The University of Pennsylvania School of Social Policy and Practice is an acknowledged leader in cultivating theoretical and practical social work knowledge. Celebrating the School's centennial, this volume heralds the progressive thinking of its leaders and students while setting the stage for the next century of work at the frontier of the field.Following the School's approach, the book upholds the core values of social work: a clear understanding and respect for the past; analysis of current and professional issues; a vision of the future that reflects a commitment to social change; and the dissemination of knowledge on local, national, and global issues. The intellectual history of the School's founders, faculty, and students is reconstructed through an extensive collection of articles on a variety of social work themes that employ both data-based research and theoretical analysis. The volume contains key contributions from practitioners affiliated with the School, from the early pioneers in 1908 to recent alumni and current faculty in 2008."A Century of Social Work and Social Welfare at Penn" will be an enduring resource for scholars and historians of social work and social welfare as well as a point of reference and pride for those influenced by the achievements of the School's faculty and students.
Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) are considered by many
researchers and providers to be the gold standard of health and
social service effectiveness research. However, there exist scant
resources that deal with the complex nature of designing and
implementing RCTs in community-based settings. This clearly written
pocket guide provides researchers and social service practitioners
insight into each step of an RCT. The goal of this text is to
enable readers to understand, design, and implement a
community-based RCT.
