Accessing Information About Evidence-Based Practices

I’m studying and need help with a Social Science question to help me learn.

Directions:

To prepare for this Assignment, review Episode 4 of the Bradley family case study. Develop a list with 2–3 researchable questions that you could use to find evidence about the efficacy of 12-step programs or other treatments for substance abuse in adolescents. Then, using the resources provided, search for two evidence-based interventions that would be appropriate for Tiffani Bradley. Be sure to consider quality of research, readiness for dissemination, replications, and costs

Submit a 2- to 3-page paper that includes the following:

• Summaries of the two interventions and their respective research regarding effectiveness
• Recommendations for Tiffani’s social worker that address the following:
  • Factors to consider when choosing between the two interventions
  • The social work skills that the staff would require to implement the intervention
  • The training required to implement each intervention
• An evaluation of evidenced-based practice based on your reaction to the experience, in which you address the following questions:
  • Would you, as a beginning researcher, have enough knowledge to benefit from researching evidence-based practices? Why or why not?
  • How might the research that you conducted increase your confidence in the intervention with Tiffani?
  • Is the information provided enough to make a decision regarding interventions? Why or why not?
• Appropriate APA citations in your writing

Support your post with specific references to the resources. Be sure to provide full APA citations for your references.
