Evidence-based strategies and approaches are effective and efficient ways to achieve positive outcomes. Related terms include science-based, research-based, or proven effective. Evidence-based strategies and approaches go beyond simply proven effective programs (also known as evidence-based programs or interventions).
“Evidence” includes a variety of possible strategies and approaches:
- Using a needs and resource assessment
- Using a logic model to identify data-driven goals, behaviors, and risk and protective factors (or determinants), based on the assessment
- Using health behavior change theory/theories
- Using proven effective, evidence-based, or evidence-informed programs and interventions
- Using common characteristics of other proven effective, or evidence-based programs
- Conducting process and outcome evaluation
