Title: Chapter 15 Question 13

13) Why is research important to the social work profession?

Feedback:Research can advance new knowledge about a phenomenon or population and help develop new and efficacious interventions or improve existing interventions. Research findings can influence social work practice, program design, community investments, and studies can have clear policy implications. Common research phrases are “evidence based,” “best practices” that have become integrated into the professional jargon. Research is not the same than evaluation. Outcome assessment is a kind of evaluation that helps decide if a program is meeting its objectives. This makes programs accountable for their actions, which is not new in the social work field.

Title: Chapter 15 Question 15

15) What role does the Community Based Participatory Research (CBPR) has in culturally grounded social work?

Feedback:CBPR: it is an orientation to research that allows the necessary role integration between the practitioner and the researcher, but with a more manageable level of practitioner involvement than is often required by other methods. It is a form of action-oriented inquiry, which views the community members as active participants in the entire research process from research question formulation to the dissemination of the research findings.
