Integration of Information Technology and Single-System Designs
This paper employs a model of innovation diffusion to examine current issues and concerns related to the use of single-system design and its relationship to information technology. The paper will review emerging work in the area of single-system methodology and information technology, and suggest future directions on how the integration of the two innovations might benefit practitioners and clients in the human services
Integrated Information Systems for Social Work Practice
Most human service agencies adopt computer technology primarily to support administrative decisions. In agencies, however, a close relationship between direct practice and administrative decisions exists. This requires an information system that supports decisions regarding case management, treatment planning, monitoring, and evaluation. An integrated information system—one that utilizes a relational data base for both direct practice and adminis…
Evaluating Practice
Social workers in a family agency were trained to apply single-case evaluation procedures over a period of twelve months. The staff's assessment points to four factors, described in this article, that influence practice evaluation: (1) perceived relevance to a social worker's job responsibilities, (2) utility for immediate action of decision makers, (3) involvement of practitioners, and (4) organizational context
Using Single-Case Evaluation Procedures in a Family and Children's Service Agency
A training and evaluation program is presented in which experienced practitioners in a family service agency were trained in the use of single-case evaluation techniques. Methods of training and six of the selected evaluation procedures are described: Target Problem Measure, Global Ratings of Improvement or Deterioration, Goal Attainment Scale, Interrupted Time-Series Design, Annotated Record, and Testing of Treatment-Outcome Hypotheses. Prelimin…
Influence of Content Relevant and Irrelevant Client Verbalizations on Interviewer Affect
The hypothesis that interviewers' affect will be influenced by the relevance of client verbalization to their expectations was studied experimentally in a treatment interview analogue. The interviewers were 64 clinical social work trainees, and the role of client was played by two trained collaborators. Interviewer affect was assessed by postinterview self-rating of affect on a 48-item adjective checklist, and by observer ratings of affect from i…
