Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to critically review the evidence-based approach, from defining key terms to analyzing the advantages and barriers to its implementation in practice. The paper discusses the evidence-based approach, i.e. it defines the terms “evidence-based practice” and “evidence-based programs/interventions”. It critically examines the key criteria of evidence-based programs/interventions. The main online databases of evidence-based programs and categories used in determining the different levels of effectiveness of the program/intervention are described. In addition, the advantages, as well as the challenges, of evidence-based approach and its implementation are discussed and evaluated. The conclusion includes proposed guidelines for future research on effective and efficient selection and application of evidence-based approaches in prevention practice.
