Understanding how to research the current literature, and then choose and evaluate an intervention, is an important component of being a successful social worker.

For this course, you have researched new and interesting interventions that are currently being used with children, adolescents, adults, and the elderly. Further, you have explored the importance of connecting theory to practice.

For this Assignment, use will practice steps in Evidence-Based Practice.

1) You will think of a practice problem.

2) You then conduct a literature review on available research.

3) You will evaluate the evidence to determine which intervention to use.

4) You will consider client values and your clinical expertise.
