Talk:Evidence-based practice

message: Removed the list of practice guides -- current EBPs include assertive community treatment, supported employment (also known as supported competitive employment or supported work), integrated dual disorders treatment, family psychoeducation, and illness management and recovery.  
This can't become a list of specific guides or it will become cluttered with loads of stuff no one will understand outside of their particular area.

message: Evidence-Based Practice seems like a meta-description that includes EBM, specifically note the paragraph on Evidence Based Practice in the Evidence-based medicine:
:In his 1996 inaugural speech[19] as President of the Royal Statistical Society, Adrian Smith held out evidence-based medicine as an exemplar for all public policy. He proposed that Evidence-Based Practice should be established for education, prisons and policing policy and all areas of government.
It seems to me that the discussion of patient care (particularly in the lead) should be moved to EBM, and this article modified to be more of an overview of the various "Evidence-based" practices, like Evidence-based management, Evidence-based design and perhaps new article, like: Evidence-based education Herd of Swine (talk) 17:01, 15 December 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Not just patients 

message: I am new to adding to a page in Wikipedia. I'm not sure how to do the references as I see them here. If someone wants to fix them so they are correct, I'd really appreciate it. I don't have time now to read how to do it, but I will and will fix it, if no one else does. I ask your patience with this newbie.

thread_title:  Reference List 

message: Evidence based practice is not unique to the field of medicine.  A quick Google search indicates EBP are used in education, library science, business, corrections, social work, mental health, nursing, and, I'm sure, many other areas.  This posting should be a general definition of Evidence Based Practices with links, if desired, to EBP within specific fields.  It is highly incorrect and presumptuous to limit this entry to medical EBP only.  I am not a pro and do not have time to make necessary edits but sincerely hope to see this article altered significantly in the future.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.247.133.96 (talk) 22:47, 23 October 2011 (UTC)

thread_title: Shutting down programs?

message: I don't think Evidence-based medicine ever had anything to do with quackery. It was about real doctors using treatments based on genuine expert knowledge, but without sufficient scientific evidence.
In all those fields there are licensing laws that forbid anyone not properly educated from practicing anyway. Taw (talk) 16:31, 8 October 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Quackery? 

message: One of the limitations acknowledge by Norcross et al (2006) was that if EBPs are pushed too heavily then the innovative and new treatments which do yet have a research base may be overshadowed. We need to keep in mind that the EBPs of today could become discredited treatments in the future. Also, we don't want to discourage innovation. Norcross et al. acknowledged that many of the experts polled may have rated the credibility of certain treatments according to there preferred paradigm. ----Action potential  discuss contribs 14:15, 10 October 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  Lead section is too long 

message: I think this article absolutely needs a section on criticism, at least in the field of psychology/psychiatry (I don't know about the others). I say this because of the extent to which the pharmaceutical and health insurance companies were (are) behind the push for "evidence"—it's not merely about "better results", it's also about things like undermining treatment modalities like psychoanalysis (which don't prescribe medications, a no-no for big pharma) and tend to run on for a very long time (unlike CBT, which has thus become the darling of health insurance companies who absolutely HATE expensive open-ended treatments).
Also it should be noted how drug treatments are far easier to study using evidence-based criteria (for such reasons as the fact that dosages are quantifiable) while something like a purely talk-based therapy inherently *doesn't* lend itself well to research methods borrowed more from the physical (as opposed to social) sciences.

thread_title:  Narrow Topic / Broad vocabulary   

message: The phrase ...Empirically supported treatments (ESTs) are defined as "clearly specified psychological treatments shown to be efficacious in controlled research with a delineated population"... seems to apply to the subset of EB behaviorally-therapeutic interventions within the broader class of EB therapeutic interventions.  Could this be adjusted (within the context of a direct quotation)? MaynardClark (talk) 18:58, 9 March 2015 (UTC)

The original source might be the California Institute for Behavioral Health Solutions, or this book, Clinician's Guide to Evidence Based Practices: Mental Health and the Addictions Paperback. I found the material here http://binsggatoban.otzo.com/3299.p I did the section on education, so I am comfortable with that.
It seems it would be a simple matter to rewrite the article and cite the sources. John NH (talk) 17:34, 9 July 2020 (UTC)
