Evidence-Based Practice in Social Work

Evidence-Based Practice (EBP) in social work involves making decisions and providing interventions based on the best available research, professional expertise, and the client's unique situation and preferences. It combines proven data with the social worker’s judgment and the individual’s needs to ensure effective support. The goal is to use methods that have been shown to work through scientific studies while respecting the client’s values, leading to better outcomes and more effective, personalized care.
