A scientist-practitioner model uses research to guide practice and evidence-based interventions. Describe what this means for both the client and the social worker.
What will be an ideal response?
Ans: When using a scientist-practitioner model with research to guide practice alongside evidence-based interventions, many things are different. First, clients are not an entity unto themselves. Each individual client is now one of many who have used the treatment or intervention, and there is data to compare or learn about effective practices. Additionally, the social worker is no longer guessing to identify interventions, but can rely on trusted research and evidence-based practices to bring about desired outcomes.
