You will focus on defining, refining, and critiquing the concept of evidence-based programs and their connection to theory. Having read and reviewed these resources, prepare a reflection paper on evidence-based programs and practices. Be sure your paper addresses the following:

Include a definition of evidence-based programs.

Determine how these programs draw from theory.

Identify appropriate questions and their elements used in choosing an evidence-based program.

Include an explanation of an evidence continuum that you consider valid when reviewing your topic in health psychology.

Part 1: Define and Refine

Do a practice run using the resources this week and focus on three major elements:

Identify the evidence-based theories being discussed. Define them.

Indicate which questions the researchers proposed that drew them to the theories.

Discuss how the topic is reinterpreted from these theories.

Part 2: Critique Evidence-Based Programs

Finally, pick a research paper that you have previously reviewed, and then review the same three elements discussed above:

Identify the evidence-based theories being discussed. Define them.

Indicate which questions the researchers proposed that drew them to the theories.

Discuss how the topic is reinterpreted from these theories.
