The Pittsburgh Survey of 1907–1908: Divergent Paths to Change
Meryl Nadel
Abstrak
The social survey movement of the early twentieth century made an important contribution to quantitative and qualitative investigation, social reform, and advocacy in social work. This Progressive Era approach galvanized social workers and others around a promising method to assess and attack urban social problems. The Pittsburgh Survey of 1907–8 served as the first and archetypal example of a comprehensive project to understand an entire city and engender reform. This article reintroduces the profession to this episode in social work history and examines its relatively limited impact on Pittsburgh.
