Evidence-Based Behavioral Practice Programs The transdisciplinary Council for Training in Evidence-Based Behavioral Practice consists of representatives from the fields of psychology, medicine, nursing, social work, public health, and library science. Chaired by Bonnie Spring, Ph.D., the Council is comprised of Ross Brownson, Ph.D., Edward Mullen, D.S.W., Robin Newhouse, Ph.D., R.N., Jason Satterfield, Ph.D., and Evelyn Whitlock, M.D., M.P.H. With input from a Scientific Advisory Board, including Gordon Guyatt, M.D., David Barlow, Ph.D., Marsha Linehan, Ph.D., Myrna Weissman, MSW, Ph.D., Steven Teutsch, Ph.D., and Ann McKibbon MLS, Ph.D., the Council implements objectives of the EBBP.org project. Aims are: 1) to create learning resources for researchers, evidence synthesizers and practitioners who participate in the movement toward evidence-based psychosocial interventions; 2) build the evidence base for behavioral and psychosocial treatments; and 3) create decision support tools that upgrade evidence-based behavioral practice.

Module One: The Evidence-Based Behavioral Practice (EBBP) Process The interdisciplinary Council for Training in Evidence-Based Behavioral Practice (EBBP) has developed online learning tools to help practitioners and students integrate research and practice in real-world conditions. This interactive online training module, entitled The Evidence-Based Behavioral Practice (EBBP) Process, aims to enhance the skills of behavioral interventionists from a variety of health disciplines to find, appraise, and apply evidence to improve the health of individuals, communities, and populations. The learner works through the steps of the evidence-based practice process while working with either an individual client or community group.

Module Two: Search for Evidence The endorsement of evidence-based practice policy by all major health professions creates new challenges for educators and practitioners. The interdisciplinary Council for Training in Evidence-Based Behavioral Practice (EBBP) has developed online learning tools to help practitioners and students integrate research and practice in real-world conditions. This online training module, entitled Searching for Evidence, introduces available on-line evidence resources and allows behavioral and social science professionals to develop skills to more effectively search for evidence. Access Module Two Training 1 CE Credit /10 Test Items This course is designed to help you: Formulate relevant foreground and/or background questions that guide their search for evidence, Identify appropriate electronic resources and search strategies to find the evidence for different presenting problems, Differentiate between varying types and levels of research evidence based on their utility in answering evidence-base practice questions, and Distinguish between statistically significant results and results that are practically significant in real-world settings.

Module Three: Systematic Review Developed by the interdisciplinary Council for Training in Evidence-Based Behavioral Practice (EBBP), this online training module offers a comprehensive introduction to systematic reviews. Evidence-users will learn to appraise the quality of systematic reviews, and evidence-creators will learn the basic steps in conducting a systematic review. Topics covered include judging the quality of a review, how and why high-quality reviews can reach different conclusions, and steps in conducting a systematic review. Access Module Three Training 1 CE Credit /10 Test Items This course is designed to help you: Define a systematic review and describe its primary value in EBBP. Describe the relationship between meta-analyses and systematic reviews. Explain the steps involved in conducting a systematic review.
