Evidence-based practice requires astute clinicians to blend our best clinical judgment with the best available external evidence and the patient's own values and expectations. Sometimes, we value one more than another during clinical decision-making, though it is never wise to do so, and sometimes other factors that we are unaware of produce unanticipated clinical outcomes. Sometimes, we feel very strongly about one clinical method or another, and hopefully that belief is founded in evidence. Some beliefs, however, are not founded in evidence. The sound use of evidence is the best way to navigate the debates within our field of practice.

Evidence based practice is the use of the best scientific evidence to support the clinical decision making. The identification of the best evidence requires the construction of an appropriate research question and review of the literature. This article describes the use of the PICO strategy for the construction of the research question and bibliographical search.

This chapter demonstrates how research is integrated with the two other pillars of evidence-based practice (EBP): clinical expertise and patient characteristics. Research alone never suffices for making clinical decisions, nor does the simple extrapolation of research qualify as EBP. The chapter begins by correcting pernicious myths about EBP and then discusses enlarging clinical decision-making by adding the clinician and the patient into the mix. The chapter describes several ways in which the three pillars of EBP can be integrated and considers what to do when they cannot be integrated, particularly in complex cases. Clinicians will ultimately adopt, adapt, or abandon a research-supported intervention for a specific case. Finally, the chapter reviews the research on being responsive to patients’ transdiagnostic features, such as preferences, stages of change, and culture.
