CDM & RCT Have a Baby: Methodological Bastard or Clinical Boon? (Virtual Event)

Irwin Epstein, Professor Emeritus at the City University of New York (CUNY) and at the Silberman School of Social Work (Hunter College), will present on the principles, methods, limitations and varied uses of CDM while showing were it “fits” in the broader context of the evidence-based practice and practice-informed research in social work and related fields. Epstein will illustrate how CDM has been employed in practitioner-initiated studies, DSW and PhD dissertations conducted in social work and allied-health settings. He’ll encourage participants to consider ways in which available data can be used in research and describe previous “flirtations” between CDM and RCT methods. Finally, Epstein will announce the birth of a new clinical research paradigm parented by CDM and RCT.
