Social Work Research

Social work research involves systematically studying social issues, behaviors, and systems to improve practices and policies that support individuals, families, and communities. It uses methods like surveys, interviews, and data analysis to understand challenges such as poverty, mental health, or discrimination. The goal is to generate evidence-based knowledge that informs effective interventions, promotes social justice, and enhances well-being. By understanding complex social dynamics through research, social workers can develop better programs and advocate for positive change informed by reliable data.
