aggregated data:<\/em><\/strong> data are combined from multiple sources (study participants or measures) in a summary form, rather than being presented on individual cases or measures.<\/p>\n

beneficence principle: <\/em><\/strong> a principle directed toward ensuring that research participants are treated in an ethical manner, protected from harm, and what is in their best interests is promoted; one of three key principles identified in the Belmont Report.<\/p>\n

coercive incentives: <\/em><\/strong> influencing a person to make a specific decision or behave in a certain manner that the person would not have ordinarily made or done, especially of concern if the decision or behavior might be detrimental to the person.<\/p>\n

conflict of interest:<\/em><\/strong> situation where a person in an official role (e.g., research investigator, practitioner, supervisor) might derive personal benefit from their professional decisions or actions.<\/p>\n

control group: <\/em><\/strong> in an experiment, the group used as a comparison or benchmark for groups receiving an intervention or condition of study interest.<\/p>\n

cost-effectiveness evaluation:<\/em><\/strong> research analyzing the costs of an intervention relative to the resulting benefits or observed outcomes.<\/p>\n

efficacy study: <\/em><\/strong> intervention research conducted under ideal, controlled conditions with select study participants (in contrast to effectiveness studies).<\/p>\n

effectiveness study:<\/em><\/strong> intervention research conducted under real-world conditions with relatively diverse study participants (in contrast to efficacy studies).<\/p>\n

evaluation research:<\/em><\/strong> a form of applied research aimed at determining the worth of engaging in a specific intervention (practice, program, or policy).<\/p>\n

evidence-based practices (EBPs):<\/em><\/strong> interventions that have a body of evidence supporting their use or application in professional practice.<\/p>\n

evidence-based practice (EBP):<\/em><\/strong> a specific process for practice decision-making that incorporates practice evidence with other sources of information.<\/p>\n

evidence-informed practice:<\/em><\/strong> practices and interventions developed on the basis of information from research evidence.<\/p>\n

iatrogenic effect:<\/em><\/strong> harm or illness resulting from applying an intervention.<\/p>\n

intervention:<\/em><\/strong> taking action to improve an undesirable condition or situation.<\/p>\n

intervention research:<\/em><\/strong> research studies designed to answer generalizable questions concerning the effects, safety, effectiveness, cost-effectiveness, and\/or implementation of an intentional change strategy or approach.<\/p>\n

needs assessment:<\/em><\/strong> research effort directed toward identifying unmet needs of a group\/population or gaps in a service delivery system.<\/p>\n

outcome evaluation:<\/em><\/strong> a systematic research approach applied to determine the effects (on specific outcomes) of intervening.<\/p>\n

practice evaluation:<\/em><\/strong> a systematic research approach applied by practitioners to determine the effects of intervening with a particular client or client system.<\/p>\n

process evaluation:<\/em><\/strong> a systematic research approach applied to determine how an intervention was actually delivered.<\/p>\n

program evaluation:<\/em><\/strong> a systematic research approach applied to determine the effects of specific programs for clients\/consumers\/participants or other stakeholder groups.<\/p>\n

policy evaluation:<\/em><\/strong> a systematic research approach applied to determine the impact or effects of an intervention at the level of policy.<\/p>\n

treatment-as-usual (TAU) condition:<\/em><\/strong> an experimental control condition where the comparison group is offered the usual type\/level of intervention (as opposed to no intervention), to be compared with the intervention innovation of interest.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"menu_order":7,"template":"","meta":{"pb_show_title":"on","pb_short_title":"","pb_subtitle":"","pb_authors":[],"pb_section_license":""},"chapter-type":[],"contributor":[],"license":[],"class_list":["post-57","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"part":18,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/pressbooks.ulib.csuohio.edu\/swk627\/wp-json\/pressbooks\/v2\/chapters\/57","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/pressbooks.ulib.csuohio.edu\/swk627\/wp-json\/pressbooks\/v2\/chapters"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/pressbooks.ulib.csuohio.edu\/swk627\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pressbooks.ulib.csuohio.edu\/swk627\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/pressbooks.ulib.csuohio.edu\/swk627\/wp-json\/pressbooks\/v2\/chapters\/57\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":58,"href":"https:\/\/pressbooks.ulib.csuohio.edu\/swk627\/wp-json\/pressbooks\/v2\/chapters\/57\/revisions\/58"}],"part":[{"href":"https:\/\/pressbooks.ulib.csuohio.edu\/swk627\/wp-json\/pressbooks\/v2\/parts\/18"}],"metadata":[{"href":"https:\/\/pressbooks.ulib.csuohio.edu\/swk627\/wp-json\/pressbooks\/v2\/chapters\/57\/metadata\/"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/pressbooks.ulib.csuohio.edu\/swk627\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=57"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"chapter-type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pressbooks.ulib.csuohio.edu\/swk627\/wp-json\/pressbooks\/v2\/chapter-type?post=57"},{"taxonomy":"contributor","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pressbooks.ulib.csuohio.edu\/swk627\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/contributor?post=57"},{"taxonomy":"license","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pressbooks.ulib.csuohio.edu\/swk627\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/license?post=57"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
