Danger and Opportunity

Abstract

Evidence-based practice has received increased emphasis within the social work field in the past decade and social work educational programs are including more evidence-based practice content in their curricula. This article examines some issues social work educators may wish to consider as they teach evidence-based practice to social work students, including encouraging student critical thinking, rather than simple acceptance of any practice guideline labeled “evidence-based,” enhancing student awareness of potential misuses of evidence-based practices, and facilitating exploration of evidence-based practices within the larger context of social work values. Recommendations for addressing these issues are provided.
