Area of Science:

  • Social Work
  • Evidence-Based Practice

Background:

  • Contemporary evidence-based practice (EBP) models offer a comprehensive framework.
  • EBP builds upon earlier concepts like empirical clinical practice and empirically-supported therapies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To outline the essential features of EBP.
  • To discuss the application of EBP across all levels of social work practice (micro to macro).
  • To advocate for the proactive adoption of EBP in social work.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review and conceptual analysis of EBP principles.
  • Application of EBP to various social work domains.

Main Results:

  • EBP provides a more complete and developed approach compared to previous models.
  • EBP is applicable to diverse social work contexts, from individual cases to systemic interventions.

Conclusions:

  • Social work should embrace EBP as its primary conceptual model.
  • BSW and MSW training programs require reorientation to align with EBP principles.
  • Integrating EBP into service delivery is crucial for professional and ethical advancement and the field's survival.
