SOWK 814 INTERVENTION RESEARCH

Social work requires implementing systematic methods for developing and testing interventions. Social work scholars must integrate their practice expertise with existing theories to conceptualize interventions designed to prevent and respond to social problems. Furthermore, social work scholars must undertake deliberate strategies for documenting and evaluating such interventions. This course will provide a broad introduction to the field of intervention research and hands-on intervention research exercises centered on students' individual practice and research interests. By the end of the semester, students will create or adapt a social work intervention and develop a research proposal to test the efficacy of the intervention.
