Problem: Implementation
Social workers advocate for clients at all levels: micro, mezzo, and macro. At all these levels, evidence is the guiding force to implement effective change. For example, at the level of social policy, evidence-based practice (EBP) will be utilized by practitioners attempting to advocate for policies that the best research available suggests are most likely to be achieved.
Your goal as a social work researcher is to be able to adapt and implement the best evidence to your client's needs.
You focus on the implementation of EBP.
Task
1) Based on the video, identify the evidence-based practice process from problem formation to research implications Dan Ariely describes. Then, respond to the following questions:
a) What are potential road blocks might you encounter when developing implications from results?
b) Who has the right intuition for interpreting research findings, the experimenter or the client/patient?
