  • Identify the basic concepts and research methods underlying EBPs
  • Understand the sample-based research strategies used to develop EBPs and their relevance to cultural responsiveness
  • Appreciate how best to use registries to select EBPs and how to optimize the outcome of an EBP through the use of experiential and contextual evidence
  • Appreciate the importance of the program provider-participant relationship (the “other” research evidence) in program implementation and outcome
