Nearly 20 years ago, one of the earliest articles to appear in a social work journal on evidence-based practice (EBP) was presented by Eileen Gambrill. While many are familiar with Gambrill¡¯s contributions as a pioneer of the EBP movement in social work, it is worth noting her emphasis on client voice as a vital part of EBP in advancing the field¡¯s efficacy: ¡°Evidence-based practice requires an atmosphere in which critical appraisal of practice-related claims flourishes, and clients are involved as informed participants. A notable feature of EBP is attention to clients¡¯ values and expectations. Clients are involved as active participants in the decision-making processes.¡± As you reflect on two decades of EBP influence in research, practice, and policy, consider how successful (or not) social work has progressed in keeping the foundation of client self-determinism strong and relevant %K evidence-based practice %K social work education %K practice-related research %K practice knowledge %U https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/1044389418786699
