Learning Objectives:
To introduce a student-led participatory action research project on adverse childhood experiences and its results.
To provide an overview of a research course to enhance research literacy in social work students
To contribute to David Kolb’s (1984) experiential learning model regarding the active engagement of social work students in research scholarship.
