This course is designed to build upon basic research concepts and enhance the ability of students to conduct research as would be common in MSW practice. Students will receive instruction on practice-oriented research methods and develop three unique research projects related to social work practice. It is imperative that MSW-level practitioners understand the benefits and challenges of an evidence-based practice focus and how to interpret existing research. Students will be expected to select problem areas to study with populations they serve and use existing literature to craft research plans around those problem areas and populations.
