I would recommend my students refer to this book if they are struggling with reviewing the literature in the field. Specifically the chapters giving guidance critically appraising a range of surveys, trials and studies. As such I do not expect this to be a key text, but a useful volume for the university library.
Social work students are often poor at considering quantitative feedback. This book will be valuable as a manual for students wishing to understand quantitative data and helps students to evaluate the validity of evidence presented.
Chapters on how to critically appraise various types of research studies are really useful and make this a great cross-over resource book for social work research in general. Chapters on the evidence-base gave a good introduction to the concept - I'd have liked more on this aspect of the topic.
Comprehensive coverage of various research methods. Very useful for teaching evaluation skills in evidence-based policy making
Comprehensive coverage of research methods. Useful for general research teaching in social work beyond mental health

Not directly relevant to my modules, but a useful book.
The Book has been used for students undertaking AMHP training.
This book is a useful addition to the reading list for the policy module for AMHPs. It covers the required topics well.
This is an excellent book and I have shared it with students and academic colleagues
Social work focused, i thought it may compliament but it did not.
I have found chapter 6 of this title particularly useful to guide the students around the use of framing, this is congruent with the teaching we consider with risk assessment, assessment and the models of framing
