About This Product

Rubin/Babbie's RESEARCH METHODS FOR SOCIAL WORK, 10th Edition, uses a clear and humorous style to balance quantitative and qualitative research techniques, illustrating how these methods complement one another and how they can be integrated in mixed-methods studies. Real-world examples help connect research and social work practices. Evidence-informed practice aligning with other accreditation requirements based on the EPAS guidelines is covered, along with coverage of social and racial justice research, including LGBTQ+ populations. Examples of published research studies, online research tools and illustrations are included. Areas receiving increased coverage include meta-analysis, conducting focus group interviews, within-group effect size benchmarks, propensity score matching, pragmatism in program evaluation and the influence of degree of certainty needed in inferring causality.
