Author Description

This comprehensive text contains introductory/intermediate coverage of qualitative and quantitative social work research and evaluation applications for undergraduate and graduate social work students. Adapted from Neuman's best-selling text, Social Research Methods, this text shows students that social work research does not take place in a vacuum€”that the social and political context of the social work field will affect how they conduct their research. Balanced between quantitative and qualitative approaches to research, this new text places great emphasis on diversity and ethics in research.
