Characteristics of Evidence Based Practice
I’m stuck on a Psychology question and need an explanation.

In your previous research course, you addressed the concept of evidence-based practice. However, it is important not to fall into a habit of using the term “evidence-based practice” without a clear understanding of its meaning. In particular, it is important to understand what standards of evidence must exist to classify an intervention or a program as evidence based. In this assignment, you are to clarify your understanding of the nature of evidence-based practice and analyze the challenges and opportunities for implementing evidence-based practice in your current social work practice.
To prepare for this Discussion, read the Learning Resources that provide information about different aspects of the evidence-based practice concept. As you read, consider how evidence-based practice or evidence- based programs might be used in a social work agency where you work or where you had a practicum experience.
DISCUSSION
POST A DESCRIPTION OF THE DISTINGUISHING CHARACTERISTICS OF EVIDENCED-BASED PRACTICE. THEN PROVIDE AN EVALUATION OF FACTORS THAT MIGHT SUPPORT OR IMPEDE YOUR EFFORTS IN ADOPTING EVIDENCE-BASED PRACTICE OR EVIDENCE-BASED PROGRAMS.
