An Institutional Ethnographic Study of Anti-Drug Social Work

This study employed institutional ethnography to interview 13 front-line social workers and relevant personnel involved in a drug control social work project. It sorted out the operation process of the project from case allocation, service implementation to performance evaluation, revealing the daily labor of social workers in high-density paperwork and online reporting, and presenting the contradictions and responses between their assistance in grassroots control and the persistence of professional helping values.
