Creating experimental analogs with available clinical information: credible alternatives to "gold-standard"
Social Work in Health Care
|February 12, 2002
Abstract:
Comparison of the implementation and findings of a "gold standard" evaluation of social work intervention and its experimental analog based on available clinical information illustrates the strengths and weaknesses of each. From a practice-research integration perspective, however, "clinical data-mining" may be a credible alternative to randomized controlled experiments.
