Reviews

"This book comes at an appropriate time when professionals are searching for effective ways to translate and implement evidence-based practices. Although this is a book on social work research methods, several concepts and methods are applicable across disciplines. A major strength of the book is that it not only covers the important concepts and methods in conducting translational research, but also captures the latest developments in models, methods, and data
sourcesEL In summary, this is a useful and most timely book that comprehensively explores the concepts, methods, process, and outcomes of the translation and implementation of evidence-based
practices." -- Junqing Liu, National Committee for Quality Assurance, University of Maryland, Baltimore, MD, USA, International Journal of Social Welfare
