BRWN-01008 - Integrating Self-Report Scales into Clinical Practice to Evaluate Interventions: Using Data to Determine If Your Interventions Work
Preferred registration deadline: February 28th
3 CEs
Social Workers are committed to making a difference and want to employ the most expedient approach to maximize impact, but how do we know we are working on our clients' most salient issues? How will we be able to assess and evaluate our progress repeatedly and reliably?
This workshop explores the administration and use of Single System Design to evaluate social work practice and projects. Two case examples are included and this course itself will be evaluated as a real-time example of using simple SSD questionnaires. There will be an opportunity to practice self-administering and scoring one of the survey instruments. The workshops includes a review of the following evaluation tools: 0-10 Rating Scales, Likert scales, Beck’s depression Inventory, Locus of Control, Workplace Inclusion Scale, Hudson’s Clinical Measurement Package, and Mental Well-being from the Sapien Labs mental health questionnaire. You will leave prepared to administer these evaluation packages in your practice and projects.
This is an in-person workshop that will be held on Washington University’s Danforth Campus. The exact location and direction will be emailed to registered participants before the course date.
General Admission: $65**
