How experimental biology and ecology can support evidence-based
Experimental biology and ecology show much promise for informing evidence-based decision making. To do so most immediately and effectively, experimentalists need to consider a number of factors when designing, executing and analyzing experiments to ensure that findings will be deemed relevant and reliable by conservation practitioners.
Evidence-based practice
Evidence-based practice is the idea that occupational practices ought to be based on scientific evidence. The movement towards evidence-based practices attempts to encourage and, in some instances, require professionals and other decision-makers to pay more attention to evidence to inform their decision-making. ... Some early experiments in ...

For Your Information. Although the terms evidence-based practices and evidence-based programs have been used interchangeably, experts in the field, as well as practitioners, are beginning to differentiate between them.. Evidence-Based Practice: Skills, techniques, and strategies that have been proven to work through experimental research studies or large-scale research field studies.
Using natural experimental studies to guide public health action
We discuss the growing importance of evaluating natural experiments and their distinctive contribution to the evidence for public health policy. We contrast the established evidence-based practice pathway, in which RCTs generate 'definitive' evidence for particular interventions, with a practice-based evidence pathway in which evaluation can ...
Does evidence-based practice improve patient outcomes? An ...
Rationale, aims and objectives: Evidence-based practice (EBP) is widely promoted, but does EBP produce better patient outcomes? We report a natural experiment when part of the internal medicine service in a hospital was reorganized in 2003 to form an EBP unit, the rest of the service remaining unchanged.
The Evidence-Based Practice of Applied Behavior Analysis
Evidence-based practice (EBP) is a model of professional decision-making in which practitioners integrate the best available evidence with client values/context and clinical expertise in order to provide services for their clients. ... Anecdotes are clearly weaker than more systematic observations, and well-controlled experiments provide the ...
Understanding Research Designs and External Scientific Evidence
Consensus-based recommendations: These recommendations are based on a summary of expert opinions. Matching Your Clinical Question to a Type of Evidence. Your clinical question determines the study design (e.g., randomized controlled trials, single-subject design) needed to address your question and impacts your search for evidence. Systematic ...
Brokering knowledge from laboratory experiments in evidence‐based
In discussing evidence-based economics, Nagatsu and Favereau distinguished two strands of experiment—both involving random allocation to treatments—characterised by levels of control. The field experiment grew from concerns about evaluating policy in realistic contexts, while the laboratory experiment grew from psychological traditions of ...
Observational Evidence and Strength of Evidence Domains
To illustrate the use of observational evidence, we present case examples of systematic reviews in which observational evidence was considered as well as case examples of individual observational studies and how they demonstrate various strength of evidence domains in accordance with current AHRQ Evidence-based Practice Center methods guidance.
Evidence-based biomaterials research
The emergence of evidence-based medicine in the 1990s was the result of self-reflection on medical science. By reflecting on the validity of several clinical evidences obtained through scientific experiments, evidence-based medicine is committed to providing patients with more effective clinical evidence [27]. New statistical methods have been ...
