Summary

From the outset, the ultimate goal of Research Methods for Social Workers has been to serve as a research text that students can understand and read in full. This revised fourth edition features important additions and changes to the original text while maintaining its accessible style. The authors have included some much-needed information to meet the changing and evolving standards of social work education and EDI. At its core, this book is designed to bring complex ideas down to a level that can be grasped by someone with little to no knowledge of research methods - it is an invaluable resource for social work students and anyone who wishes to have a comprehensive introduction to research methods.
