CONSORT-SPI is an evidence-based reporting guideline for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of social and psychological interventions. Reports of RCTs testing these interventions often omit important information, hindering critical appraisal and the effective transfer of this research evidence to policy and practice decision-making. The objective of this workshop is to present the rationale behind CONSORTSPI, the methods used in its development, and the guideline checklist itself, including instructions for its use and examples from social work research. Following these presentations, a panel of leading social work scholars and editors will discuss the guideline and its implications for the social work literature.
