Description: Intervention Research : Developing Social Programs, Paperback by Fraser, Mark W.; Richman, Jack M.; Galinsky, Maeda J.; Day, Stephen H., ISBN 0195325494, ISBN-13 9780195325492, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US When social workers draw on experience, theory, or data in order to develop new strategies or enhance existing ones, they are conducting intervention research. This relatively new field involves program design, implementation, and evaluation and requires a theory-based, systematic approach.
Intervention Research presents such a framework.
The five-step strategy described in this brief but thorough book ushers the reader from an ideas germination through the process of writing a treatment manual, assessing program efficacy and effectiveness, and disseminating findings. Rich with examples drawn from child welfare, school-based
prevention, medicine, and juvenile justice, Intervention Research relates each step of the process to current social work practice. It also explains how to adapt interventions for new contexts, and provides extensive examples of intervention research in fields such as child welfare, school-based
prevention, medicine, and juvenile justice, and offers insights about changes and challenges in the field.
This innovative pocket guide will serve as a solid reference for those already in the field, as well as help the next generation of social workers develop skills to contribute to the evolving field of intervention research.
