Abstracts of Current Research :

Targets of change and interventive methods in social work:An empirically based prototype for developing practice guidelines: Empirically-based practice guidelines for social work intervention are needed. Practice guidelines must include two fundamental components: (1) a classification of the targets (outcomes) of intervention; and (2) for each of the targets, an array of alternative interventions from which to select the nest fit. The research is based on the outcomes and interventions that were investigated in published social work studies of effectiveness over the past several years. Both theoretical and empirical procedures will be utilized to classify outcomes into target categories and derive the intervention alternatives whose effectiveness was assessed in relation to the outcomes. The classifications to be obtained will be used as a prototype for further development and testing of practice guidelines.
