Applying Randomized Controlled Trials and Systematic Reviews in Social Work Research

Haluk Soydan

University of Southern California, Soydan{at}usc.edu

This article elaborates on the centrality of interventions for social work practice and the importance of understanding the effects of interventions for a more efficient, harmless, transparent, and ethical social work practice. Low-bias research designs and meta-analyses are important means of generating the best possible evidence on what works in social work practice. An evidence-based practice model is promising in terms of translating and implementing scientific evidence that is uncertain, volatile, and incomplete and might be difficult to access.

Key Words: social work practice • interventions • systematic reviews • evidence-based practice
