EBP Exchange – UMB School of Social Work

For those of you who find that listening to a presentation makes the results more memorable than reading, I recommend Steve Ondersma’s two part video on substance abuse and child welfare research. Steve is a find scholar in this area and has clear slides and an engaging presentation style. He discusses a number of intriguing issues including the influence of: length of treatment, multi-problem treatment vs. single focused treatment; the size of benefit from treatment; the impact of pre-natal drug exposure on infants (results up through 8 years), motivational interviewing; and methamphetamines and treatment.  This is not a video that shows practice methods but it is a very good review by a scholar who has long been interested in the issue and is a good scientist (Steve is the Editor-in-Chief of Child Maltreatment).
