Evidence Based research informs social work in several different aspects. For example, evidenced based practice because it provides guidelines for how certain applications in the process of social work. As discussed in our weekly resources, some evidence based practices, display how certain codes and ethics could be more beneficial in practicing and applying social work, (Gossett & Weidman, 2007).Another positive to evidence based practice research, is that it expresses validity tons of research discussing the same concerns. This could be beneficial to social work because it could allow social workers to develop ideas and plans around evidences based work that have came to the same consensus regarding certain social work issues in society. This is some reasons why evidenced based practice and research is essential to social work applications.
