Sheppard,M.

Appraising and using social research in the human services: an introduction for social work and health professionals - London Athenaeunum Press 2004 - 256pp.

Explores the range of research methodologies used in health and social care, from randomized control trials to surveys, interviews, experimental designs and ethnographic approaches and discusses the strengths and limitations of each and shows the reader how to identify the assumptions underlying them. Uses case examples from practice to demonstrate how research messages can be applied in a range of situations, from developing social services for ethnic minority groups to working with an individual suffering from mental illness.
