Research and Information for Evidence-based Practice

Description:
Today, human services professionals are confronting major changes in their work. The magnitude and complexity of social problems, what we know about them, and what are effective approaches to address them is growing rapidly. The computerization of bibliographies and the development of software that permits the rapid location of relevant evidence have made it easier for workers to do the best for their clients. The skills needed to find, to access, to retrieve, to use information and relevant studies quickly and reliably, and to separate the wheat from the chaff; and to apply sound evidence to problem solving are essential to human service practice. Workers must be trained in the process of turning social problems into questions and to systematically locating, appraising, and using contemporaneous research findings as the basis of informed decision making and practice.
