EVIDENCE-BASED PRACTICE

Clinical social workers use methods that combine well-researched interventions, experience and ethics, with client preferences and culture to inform the delivery of treatment and services provided. The practitioner, researcher and client must work together in order to identify what works, for whom and under what conditions. Treatments and services that have the most effective outcomes, as demonstrated by the research, are called best practices. It ensures that programs with proven success become widely disseminated to benefit a greater number of people (Social Work Policy Institute, 2010).
