A conference looks at the strides made in the advancement of evidence-based practice and the increasing implementation of translational research.
Presenters will elaborate on the importance and impact of their research results in the context of social work practice.
Intervention research in social work is the study of social, mental health and health services interventions, which aim to improve the conditions of individuals, groups and communities. Outcomes of intervention research and the process of evidence-based social work practice are the backbone of evidence-based interventions/treatments. With the amazing advancement of evidence-based practice and the implementation of translational research taking place nationally and internationally, it seems timely to explore the state of science in social work intervention research, specifically to summarize achievements and formulate future challenges.
The conference format includes presentations, comments from discussants, and audience participation. A post-conference workshop will be offered on Friday afternoon for doctoral students and early career researchers.
Participants can expect:
- Expert presentations of recent intervention research in social work
- Comments by leading experts
- Detailed discussion on the promises and challenges of intervention research in social work
- Inspiration for their own research
