Steps involved in the process of evidence-based practice are reviewed in terms of their applicability to macro-level social work. These steps include (1) posing answerable questions; (2) locating credible research studies, (3) critically evaluating this research and its applicability to a practice situation; 4. selecting an intervention(s) by integrating research evidence with professional expertise, ethical standards, and the situation's unique circumstance; and (5) evaluating outcomes. This process has clear and compelling applications to macro-practice. A substantial body of research applicable to macro-level social work currently exists. Widespread adoption of EBP has great potential to improve social work programs and policies
