This study explored trauma centers social workers’ beliefs regarding four evidence-based interventions for patients presenting with substance abuse issues. Previous research has indicated that health care providers’ beliefs have prevented them from implementing non-abstinence based interventions. Study results indicated that the majority of social workers believed in the 12-step approach and were least comfortable with the harm reduction approach. However, results showed that in some cases, social workers may have negative personal beliefs regarding non-abstinence based interventions, but do not let their personal beliefs get in the way of utilizing these interventions if they are viewed as appropriate for the client’s situation.
