Building a Bridge or Digging a Pipeline? Clinical Data Mining in Evidence-Informed Knowledge Building
Epstein, Irwin
Research on Social Work Practice, v25 n4 p499-506 Jul 2015
Challenging the "bridge metaphor" theme of this conference, this article contends that current practice-research integration strategies are more like research-to-practice "pipelines." The purpose of this article is to demonstrate the potential of clinical data-mining studies conducted by practitioners, practitioner-oriented PhD students, and methodologically pluralist researchers to promoting a truly collaborative, two-way traffic in evidence-informed knowledge building.
