Journal of Social Work Education, v49 n2 p307-320 2013
In recent years, there has been an increased call to refine social work curricula to better prepare social workers to enter the field with the skills necessary to effectively respond to the needs of survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault. This study's purpose is to present the results of an evaluation of a newly developed, specialized social work course on violence against women to determine whether it positively impacts MSW students' attitudes, beliefs, and professional efficacy as compared to other courses. This study provides a description of the specialized course and presents the results of a quasi-experimental evaluation of the course with 179 graduating social work students. The study concludes with implications for social work educators and researchers. (Contains 3 tables.)
