Abstract
When it comes to investing time and money
in services, governments, social service agencies, public
service providers, and consumers all want to know what
works. What harms? Based on what evidence? The
impetus for basing policy and practice decisions on the
best available evidence had its origins in the United
Kingdom three decades ago. Since that time, there has
been an increased demand for researchers to provide
high-quality research on the effects of interventions that
can be incorporated into the decision-making process for
what works and for whom. This article will provide
background for the evidence-based practice movement as
well as address the implications of systematic reviews for
decision making for policymakers, professionals, and
consumers.
