Description
Implementing Evidence-Informed Practice: International Perspectives comprises sixteen original articles about developing strategies to integrate knowledge into policy and practice in order to:
- determine if interventions will have the desired effect,
- ensure that public money is spent efficiently, and
- increase the likelihood that practitioners are intervening in the lives of others on the basis of the best available evidence.
Treatment outcomes, knowledge sharing, outcome evaluation methodology, early intervention, prevention, the development and sustaining of implementation teams, and the creation of instruments to measure implementation capacities across local, regional, and state/provincial levels are all addressed.

Editorial Reviews
It will illuminate, inspire, and instruct all those who believe that good outcomes have to be founded on good evidence—most especially social workers, their managers, and service directors."— “Celia Atherton, OBE, Director of Social Justice, Darlington Hall Trust, United Kingdom
