Evidence-based practice (EBP) involves the conscientious, explicit, and judicious use of current best evidence in making decisions about individuals’ care. This approach requires a search for knowledge, as well as problem-solving and decision-making skills. Researchers conducted a systematic review regarding the best way to educate social work students concerning the process of EBP and/or the application of empirically supported treatments (ESTs). Further investigation is needed concerning the effectiveness of specific teaching methods that use controlled designs and real-life situations.
