The importance of empirical research

Develop a PowerPoint presentation on the importance of empirical research. The goal is to help the addiction counselors appreciate the importance and role of research for informing effective treatment. You are not teaching how to conduct studies; you are giving instruction on the value of research and why you should understand the role of research. The presentation should include highlighting a brief history (key studies) that helped to shape treatment interventions. In addition, provide a slide for each of the following topics and provide and identify a study that utilized the specific method (a quality description should be presented in the notes section of the slide): Efficacy vs. Effectiveness Qualitative Research Quantitative Research Mixed Methods Research Randomized Controlled Trial Quasi-experimental Studies Experimental Studies Field Observation
