Social Work Research is .............. .

  • A.Exploratory Research
  • B.Survey Design
  • C.Intervention Research
  • D.Case Study Design

Answer: C

The key describes social work research as intervention research.

Social work is a practice profession, and its distinctive research tests and develops interventions: designing a programme or technique, trying it out and evaluating its effects. Rothman and Thomas's work on intervention research presents this as the research most characteristic of social work.

Exploratory research, survey designs and case study designs are general research types used in every social science. Social work research uses them too, but they do not capture what is distinctive about it.
