Recognition, Research & Publications

The UCLA Department of Care Coordination and Clinical Social Work values and promotes education, professional development, research and publications to advance clinical social work practice.

Social Work research does not depend solely on research methodology but relies on a combination of practice knowledge and research methods. This partnership results in comprehensive research that is responsive to the needs of patient and families in the ever changing context of healthcare, communities and the systems that social workers serve. These practices also allow for social works to evaluate the effectiveness of social work methods and interventions.

The Department of Care Coordination and Clinical Social Work provides research material and patient education for social worker through the UCLA Library.

In addition to the strong clinic work within UCLA Health, several of our Clinical Social Workers have contributed to research projects and various other publications. The following are several of these publications:
