As a student, you have learned to look to the professional and scholarly literature to better understand concepts, support your analyses, and apply reputable, research-based evidence to a problem. The same is true of practicing social workers. Although they may already have a theoretical orientation and a set of interventions with which they are familiar, current research allows them to remain abreast of new developments and evidence-based practices and interventions that might work for a particular client, family, or group.
In this Assignment, you assume the role of a social worker assessing a client. In order to best treat that client, you must survey the research literature and analyze potential evidence-based interventions for treatment.

To Prepare
· Access the
Social Work Case Studies media and navigate to Tiffani, Jake, and Paula. Choose one on which to focus your Assignment.
· As you reflect on your chosen case, identify two issues that you would want to address as the social worker.
· Research in the Walden Library for evidence-based practices that could be used to treat each issue. Ensure that you are searching for peer-reviewed scholarly research articles describing these practices.
ASSIGNMENT BELOW
Submit a 2- to 3-page paper in which you approach your chosen case as a social worker:
· Describe two issues in your chosen case that would be important for intervention.
· Identify one evidence-based intervention
for each issue (from peer-reviewed journals). How do you know these interventions are “evidence-based”? Refer to the main characteristics of evidence-based practice (EBP) in your explanation.
· Summarize the main information about the interventions from each journal article—research design, sample, sample size, and findings/outcomes in a 1-paragraph annotation.
· Evaluate the interventions and their suitability to the case.
Use the Learning Resources and peer-reviewed scholarly journal articles to support your paper. Make sure to include appropriate APA citations and a reference list.
