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.
From the initial stage of planning the RCT and developing its
conceptual foundations through implementation, the authors provide
a wealth of detail and case studies from social work practice
research that assist readers to comprehend the detailed information
provided. Accessible, concrete advice is woven throughout the text
and tackles the many design and implementation challenges that
arise in community practice settings. The importance of utilizing a
mix of qualitative and quantitative methods is encouraged due to
the intricate nature of RCT research in community-based
environments.
Through utilizing practical case examples, this pocket guide
reviews the essentials of RCTs in a manner that will appeal to
researchers, practitioners and students alike who are seeking the
necessary tools to build the empirical knowledge base for
community-based psychosocial interventions for social work.
