Differentiate between field studies, surveys, quasi-experimental, and randomized experiments in human services research. Describe each research method and explain how it contributes to the understanding of human services.
A study with 234 low-income alcoholics evaluated the effectiveness of usual care for alcoholics wishing to quit drinking to the usual care enhanced by computer-assisted telephone counseling sessions. Each subject was assigned randomly either to the usual care or the usual care plus counseling, and their drinking status was observed after 3 months. The percentage who were able to quit drinking was lower for the group receiving only the usual care.
