bio
Dr. Gary Holden is a Professor at the New York University Silver School of Social Work. He is a former faculty member in the Mount Sinai School of Medicine where he was a co-investigator on the National Inner City Asthma Study and the Minorities Risk Factors and Stroke Study. Dr. Holden was a member of the Health Summit Working Group that developed the IEEE-USA endorsed criteria for the assessment of the quality of health information on the Internet. Since coming to NYU he completed the third randomized controlled clinical trial of Starbright World, the award winning computer network for hospitalized children and a meta-analysis of the set of RCCTs that examined Starbright World.
Dr. Holden is the former Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Social Work Education and a current member of the Editorial Board of Social Work in Health Care. He developed and is the current editor of Information for Practice (IP), the international news and new scholarship aggregation site for social work professionals. This year, IP was selected as one of the 206 sites for inclusion in the Association of Research Libraries' Current Models of Digital Scholarly Communication Study. In 2008, IP was first selected for inclusion in the GreySource Index, and subsequently selected the 2008 GreySource Frontrunner for its coverage of the grey literature.
Building on years of educational outcome measure development research, he is currently working on a revised version (ESER) of the Evaluation Self-Efficacy scale that he and his colleagues created while he was a Senior Scholar at the Council on Social Work Education.
