Evidence-Based School Mental Health Services

Abstract

There are a number of terms that can be confusing when schools are involved n planning to meet students mental health needs. We see terms such as empirically supported, research-based, evidence-based, proven, well-established, promising, efficacious, and probably efficacious (Hoagwood, Burns, Kiser, Ringeisen, & Schoenwald, 2001; Lembke & Stormont, 2005). These terms are not equivalent and it is important to distinguish between them. An understanding of the term evidence-based is particularly important as it can be misunderstood and misused.
