Evidence-Based Practice (EBP) Instructions for Scenario

1. Begin with a hypothetical clinical scenario- the father of a client family calls seeking family therapy for his daughter who is experiencing an eating disorder

2. ASK: Describe how you will decide on the type of question you are researching. Be specific in your decision-making process and what criteria you will use.

For example, will you use one of the classifications of questions discussed in your text in the Defining the Purpose of the Search section to formulate your questions?Convert the issue into an answerable question. Write the question and indicate what type of clinical question it is (a who, what, where, when or why question). Explain why.

3. ACQUIRE: Describe how you will find research articles to answer your question. Pay particular attention to how you will do this without having access to a university library

.Practice locating research articles that address the issue. Describe what resources and databases you might use to locate various types of articles for the issue.

4. APPRAISE: Describe how you will determine the quality of the research, to whom the findings apply and in what contexts they are appropriate.Select one research study that you found related to the clinical issue and complete an evaluation of it. Describe what you found to assess the quality of this article using your strategies for evaluating research.

5. APPLY: Describe how you will integrate the research findings with your experience to date and your hypothetical client population and clinical context. In other words, envision who you might work with and where you might work with them, and then describe how you will decide on the most effective way to use research findings in your therapy with such clients.

What kinds of information do you anticipate pulling from research articles to guide your work with such clients?Explain, in detail, how you would apply the research findings to your work with your hypothetical clients in your hypothetical clinical context (assuming the study is of quality).

Then, clarify all relevant diversity/contextual relation variables associated with this situation and indicate how they may impact the utility of the evidence you found (e.g., if the study used a European or an American sample, will it apply to your Latina client?).

6. ANALYZE AND ADJUST: Describe what methods you will use to assess the effectiveness of the interventions you might pull from the studies you found. Considering that the research-based interventions you found may not always be effective, explain what you would do in such situations.Identify the specific measures, tools, and procedures you would use to assess the effectiveness of your EBP interventions with these clients.
