“…These integrated data could generate routine program-wide client problem profiles, outcome evaluations, and cost-benefit analyses. In addition, naturalistic evaluation models would help to forge the necessary links between academic researchers and social work agencies to confront the growing demand for evaluation research (Jenkins & Mattaini, 1992).…”

The use of global instruments has been recommended as a viable strategy for clinical assessment and outcome measurement in mental health practice. The current study examined the validity, reliability, and utility of the South Shore Problem Inventory-Revised (SSPI-R), a multidimensional global client self-report scale based on a biopsychosocial framework Data collectedfrom 376 clients newly admitted to an adult outpatient community mental health program were submitted to principal components analysis and varimax rotation. Three major factors emerged reflecting an underlying factor structure similar to that of the original SSPI. The three factors were defined as: psychophysiological (Factor 1), community/health (Factor 2), and family pathology (Factor 3). Overall, the scale accounted for about 43% of the variance, internal consistency ratings were good to excellent, and subscale correlations revealed good separation among the three factors. Matters concerning validity, reliability, and utility are discussed as are implications for the use of the scale in agency-based clinical assessment and outcome evaluation.

“…For many years, social work has been criticized, especially from within, for borrowing heavily from social science research and theory, rather than developing its own conceptual formulation (Jenkins & Mattaini, 1992). Recent developments in the social work profession indicate that an increasing number of practitioners are undertaking postgraduate and post-qualifying training, so the profession is now in a better position to promote its own conceptual base.…”

The Centre for Child Care Research at the Department of Social Work, The Queen's University of Belfast, was established in 1995 through a partnership between the Department of Health and Social Services, the four Health and Social Services Boards, and the Social Work Department at The Queen's University. The Centre was funded to play a key role in influencing the development of child care policy and practice in Northern Ireland, as well as to link its research to national and international levels following the introduction of major child care legislation, the Children (Northern Ireland) Order 1995. This article examines the value of research centers in developing policies and evidence-based practice generally, but specifically focuses on the Centre for Child Care Research, its research program, organizational structures, and other activities.
