Session: Methods of Quantitative Social Intervention Research SIG (Society for Social Work and Research 24th Annual Conference - Reducing Racial and Economic Inequality)

Social interventions are costly and time-consuming. Interventions are successful when they consider: 1) valid statistical design with appropriate statistical power and sample size, and 2) proper quantitative methods to analyze the data. This SIG aims to promote quantitative methods used for SW interventions (e.g., SMART design, adaptive design, Bayesian modelling, causal inference, propensity analysis, etc.). Through this SIG, we plan to develop and disseminate quantitative intervention methods for SW researchers nationally and internationally. We also plan to facilitate special sessions and workshops at SSWR and other SW conferences and Summer institutes at UNC-SSW.
