Research Methods for BSW Students

This introductory research methods text is intended for BSW students as their first introduction to social work research methodology, data analyses, and report writing. The contents have selected and arranged so that it can be used in an undergraduate one-semester social work research methods course. As in the previous editions, the book's goal is to produce a "user-friendly," straightforward introduction to social work research methods couched within the quantitative and qualitative traditions-the two approaches most commonly used to generate relevant social work knowledge.
