“Main Post
The peer-reviewed article selected from the Walden University Library’s database is:
Cowdin, L. Z., Frost, C. J., Cambron, C., Castillo, J., Parada, M., & Gren, L. H. (2023). The impact of paraprofessionals on client-centered substance use disorder recovery outcomes: A scoping review. Journal of Social Work Practice in the Addictions. Advance online publication. (Cowdin et al., 2023)
This article explores the efficacy of interventions delivered by behavioral health paraprofessionals in substance use disorder (SUD) treatment and prevention services. Through a scoping review, the authors sought to determine the client-centered SUD recovery outcomes associated with such interventions. They identified 18 relevant studies but found insufficient data to draw definitive conclusions about the impact of paraprofessionals on SUD recovery outcomes (Cowdin et al., 2023).
I didn’t encounter any gaps in the Walden’s Library database. It not only provides access to a diverse range of peer-reviewed journals but also offers additional resources on the subject. While I didn’t experience difficulties in accessing the specific article I needed, it’s important to note the robustness of the database in meeting various research needs.
Walden’s Library is an invaluable resource for colleagues across diverse disciplines, offering access to a broad spectrum of peer-reviewed journals. Its comprehensive coverage caters to a wide array of research needs, spanning fields such as social work, addiction studies, and beyond. Whether practitioners or researchers seek literature on specific topics or interdisciplinary inquiries, Walden’s Library proves instrumental in fulfilling all research requirements.
I would recommend this database, as it offers a comprehensive collection of scholarly articles across multiple fields, facilitating research and evidence-based practice. Additionally, the database’s user-friendly interface and search features contribute to an efficient and effective research experience for users.”
