As previously indicated, research provides information that social workers utilize to test and change their assumptions and approaches. The examination and change in social work assumptions and approaches in turn informs how a social worker applies the steps in the process of evidence-based practice. In this case, social workers utilize the research to reflect on their personal views and practice, which in turn determines how they apply the steps in evidence-based practice. The second measure through which research informs a social worker's application of the steps in the process of evidence-based practice is the formulation of interventions for clients' situation. Social workers determine the kind of interventions to utilize in addressing a client's situation through examining research evidence. The interventions in turn determine the application of evidence-based steps in social work practice. Therefore, research informs application of evidence-based practice in social work through influencing assessments, decision-making, and interventions for clients' situations.

"Yafe-Yanai (2001) According to Clark and Horan (2001): Scientists also agree that parents are the single most influential factor in the career development and choice of their children. [Schulenberg et al. 1984; Seligman et al. 1991; as cited by Clark and Horan [2001]} Parents have so much influence due to the fact that the experiences and environments of the stages of growth during what is termed the "impressionable years" of
