When you attempt to develop new strategies or enhance existing strategies, you are ready to engage in intervention research. This content is only available as a PDF. Abstract. At the core, making a difference is what social work practice is all about.
Jun 1, 2015 · Interventions can be classified into two broad categories: (1) preventive interventions are those that prevent disease from occurring and thus reduce the incidence (new cases) of disease, and (2) therapeutic interventions are those that treat, mitigate, or postpone the effects of disease, once it is under way, and thus reduce the case fatality r...

A basic assumption underlying intervention research is that tested interventions found to be effective are disseminated to and implemented in clinics, communities, schools, and worksites. However, there is a sizable gap between science and practice ( Anderson, 1998 ; Price, 1989 , 1998 ).

In our earlier course you became familiar with the ways that research questions lead to research approach and methods. Intervention and evaluation research are not different: the question dictates the approach. In the earlier course, you also became familiar with the philosophical, conceptual and practical aspects of different approaches to social ...
Practice and program evaluation are important aspects of social work practice. It would be nice if we could simply rely on our own sense of what works and what does not. However, social workers are only human and, as we learned in our earlier course, human memory and decisions are vulnerable to bias. Sources of bias include recency, confirmation, a...
One contrasts previously noted between qualitative and quantitative research is the nature of the investigator’s role. Every effort is made to minimize investigator influence on the data collection and analysis processes in quantitative research. Qualitative research, on the other hand, recognizes the investigator as an integral part of the researc...
This chapter began with a review of concepts from our earlier course: qualitative, quantitative, mixed-methods, cross-sectional and longitudinal approaches. Expanded content about approach came next: formative, process, outcome, and cost evaluation approaches were connected to the kinds of intervention questions social workers might ask, and partic...
Feb 4, 2010 · Abstract. This article describes a 5-step model of intervention research. From lessons learned in our work, we develop an outline of core activities in designing and developing social programs. These include (a) develop problem and program theories; (b) design program materials and measures; (c) confirm and refine program components in efficacy ...
