About the Book

Praise for earlier editions:

I have been using this textbook as a required reading for my research class since 2004 because I found the text's coverage of research concepts to be in-depth, and easy to read without the technicalities.

--Ziblim Abukari, PhD, MSW, Assistant Professor, Department of Social Work, Westfield State University

Applied Social Research. . . is thorough, well organized, and clear, making it highly appreciated by my students.

--Barry Loneck, PhD, School of Social Welfare, SUNY Albany

Discover the practical side of research in human services with this easy-to-follow classic

Designed for students and professionals in social work, public administration, nursing, criminal justice, and other human services fields, this text breaks down complex concepts into accessible, real-world applications. Follow along with easy-to-read language and engaging examples to uncover nonintimidating, practical tools for everyday problem-solving. Several new features, such as recorded practitioner interviews and Technology in Research boxes, clarify and reinforce the value of applied social research and innovative tools real professionals use in their work.

This textbook takes readers on a journey through the entire research process, from identifying problems to collecting and analyzing data, and finally, to effectively communicating your findings. Each chapter closes with critical thinking and self-assessment questions to help evaluate students' understanding of the Council on Social Work Education's (CSWE) 2022 Educational Policy and Accreditation Standards (EPAS), promoting in-depth learning. Instructors will also welcome a wide array of instructor resources, including a new Instructor Manual, Sample Syllabi, Test Bank, and chapter PowerPoints.
