Predictors of the Use of Evidence-Based Interventions Among National Association of Social Work (NASW) Members

Abstract

There is growing emphasis on the use of evidence-based practice (EBP) in the field of social work.However, much remains unknown about the factors associated with the implementation of evidence-based interventions among social workers. In the current cross-sectional study the authors examined a sample of 180 NASW members who completed a survey assessing knowledge of EBP, organizational climate, and practitioner use of evidence-based interventions (EBI). Logistic regression was used to identify variables that predicted NASW members' self-reported use of EBI. Organizational climate factors and practitioner knowledge were predictive of self-reported EBI use in the sample of NASW members. Findings suggest that increased knowledge of evidence-based practice and higher levels of innovation and flexibility in the organizational climate may increase adoption of EBIs.
