SOCW 6311 WK 1 Assignment: Accessing Information About Evidence-Based PracticesThe first steps toward narrowing the gap between research and practice are recognizing that one exists and educating oneself and others. Social workers must realize the benefits and eliminate the misconceptions surrounding evidence-based practice. In the Bradley episode featured in the resources, the social worker combines her assessment of Tiffani Bradley’s individual situation with her knowledge of research to evaluate her supervisor’s recommended intervention. Now that the social worker has recognized a gap, she/he/they need to access potentially relevant information for a specific case and critically analyze for its applicability to that case. This week’s Assignment allows you to practice these critical next steps in the Bradley family case.READ VERY IMPORTANT To prepare for this Assignment, review Episode 4 of the Bradley family case study. Develop a list with 2–3 researchable questions that you could use to find evidence about the efficacy of 12-step programs or other treatments for substance abuse in adolescents.

Be sure to consider quality of research, readiness for dissemination, replications, and costs.Bradley family case study transcript attachedSubmit a 2- to 3-page paper that includes the following:Summaries of the two interventions and their respective research regarding effectivenessRecommendations for Tiffani’s social worker that address the following:Factors to consider when choosing between the two interventionsThe social work skills that the staff would require to implement the interventionThe training required to implement each interventionAn evaluation of evidenced-based practice based on your reaction to the experience, in which you address the following questions:Would you, as a beginning researcher, have enough knowledge to benefit from researching evidence-based practices?
