Congratulations! On December 10th 2024, the academic social work journal Families in Society awarded one of our articles, Guidelines for Using Simulations in Qualitative Research on Social Work Practice Competencies, as the 2024 Best Research Note published with Families in Society!
The article was authored by the Lab’s Founding Director Kenta Asakura, Co-Director Katherine Occhiuto, Research Associate Sarah Tarshis, Lab Manager and Research Coordinator Ruxi Gheorghe, and Director Sarah Todd. The use of simulation as a part of research design is relatively new in social work, and little is known about how simulations can be combined with well-established qualitative research methods. Drawing on two study examples, the article proposes guidelines for how simulations can be incorporated in qualitative research on complex practice competencies essential for enhancing the quality of health and social services. In doing so, the authors highlight how simulation can further advance qualitative research on social work practice.

Again, congratulations to the team!
