This workbook can be used to accompany any major social work research methods text. This edition is referenced to all of the most recent social work research methods texts (through early 1998), so students can complete the exercises that apply to a particular area in their textbook. The workbook provides exercises for students to complete and hand in, so it enables them to "learn by doing." This edition is broken down into more topic units, for ease of reference; and there are many more questions in each unit.
