New and Retained Features:
- Integration of substance and method. This textbook continues to offer the most contemporary treatments of developments in social work research with each chapter focusing on a particular substantive research question, supported by interesting and contemporary social work examples, such as Ch. 5’s use of child welfare studies on the impact of intensive, in-home, family-based services.
- New emphasis on evidence-based practice. Introduced in Chapter 1, each following chapter has a concluding section titled, Implications for Evidence-Based Practice. In addition, a discussion of web sites provides systematic reviews of evidence-based practice, such as the Campbell Collaboration.
- Updated coverage of diverse populations. The new edition identifies concerns and strategies at each step of the research process to help readers see that every aspect of the research process should be guided by consideration of cultural and ethnic group similarities and differences.
- An increased focus on ethics, including new ethics exercises. Ethical decision-making is presented as an integral part of the research design process, rather than as a disconnected step. New ethics practice exercises appear at the end of each chapter in the new edition, and up-to-date coverage of issues in ethical practice is included throughout the text, beginning with Chapter 2.
- Expanded coverage of qualitative methods. The authors offer a thorough, engaging, and up-to-date presentation of qualitative methods appropriate to social work, including a new section on photovoice, an emerging qualitative research method that enables participants a greater role in the research process.
- New examples of research in social work practice settings. New social work practice examples now illustrate the latest research on such topics as homelessness, domestic violence, substance abuse, gender, aging, child welfare, and welfare reform, including the methods used and the challenges researchers confronted.
- New and revised pedagogy. The new edition includes more review exercises in a variety of formats than any other text of its kind, including exercises on developing a proposal, discussion questions, practice exercises, web exercises, new ethics exercises, and new SPSS exercises on the student web site: http:/www.sagepub.com/prsw2.
