Using the Internet as a Research Tool for Social Work and Human Services

Using the Internet as a Research Tool for Social Work and Human Services provides valuable insights into how the Internet can be used as a primary and legitimate source for research in social work practice and education. Methodologies such as online data collection, sampling, and representation of the subjects are investigated in detail, along with highlighting various areas of research that benefit from using these Internet-based solutions. The book also discusses the process of developing and deploying Internet studies by replacing traditionally administered questionnaires with online surveys. Psychological testing and using the Internet for training are closely examined in a thought-provoking article that emphasizes the use of technology to enhance the development of research skills of undergraduate-level multicultural mental health researchers.
