Purpose: This article investigates the extent of effectiveness studies of behavioral, psychological, and social interventions aiming for measurable changes at the individual level in Sweden 1990–2019. Methods: The data stems from a retrospective analysis of published literature on effect studies between 1990 and 2019. Results: The results show an increase in published articles reporting on effect studies in Sweden the past 30 years, accelerating the past 10 years. However, only 25% of the studies focuses on core social work practices and only certain target groups and areas, especially children and elderly, are covered. Of these studies, only 4% are conducted by social work scholars. Conclusions: Effect studies still holds a weak position in Swedish social work research, despite of processes of professionalization and academization with national efforts to promote knowledge production for practice. This is discussed in relation to competence, opportunity, and motivation in Swedish social work and beyond.

目的： 本文调查了 1990-2019 年瑞典旨在在个人层面实现可衡量变化的行为、心理和社会干预的有效性研究程度。方法： 数据源于对 1990 年至 2019 年间已发表的效果研究文献的回顾性分析。结果：结果显示，在过去 30 年中，报告瑞典效果研究的已发表文章有所增加，在过去 10 年中加速。然而，只有 25% 的研究侧重于核心社会工作实践，并且只涵盖某些目标群体和领域，尤其是儿童和老年人。在这些研究中，只有 4% 是由社会工作学者进行的。结论： 效果研究在瑞典社会工作研究中仍然处于薄弱地位，尽管国家努力促进实践知识生产的专业化和学术化进程。这与瑞典社会工作及其他方面的能力、机会和动机进行了讨论。
