Abstract

Contrary to popular belief, social workers are evaluating their practice, but what they do falls short of the use of quantitative procedures that researchers have promoted. Data obtained from a survey of social workers drawn from the National Association of Social Workers national membership list suggest that the gap between practitioners and clinical researchers may stem in part from different mindsets as well as from actual differences in the commitment to the importance of clinical evaluation. Moreover, in the minds of practitioners there appears to be a sharp distinction between formal single-subject design studies and the general evaluative tasks in which they routinely engage.
