Principles of evidence-based practice

The principles of EBP likely will be relatively constant, but scientific developments will impact the practical application of each principle dramatically. The following section discusses the four fundamental principles of evidence-based medicine/practice introduced by Drake et al in this issue.

Summary

The values and recommendations discussed here are featured prominently in the final report of the President's New Freedom Commission on Mental Health [5]. It is the author's hope that these recommendations will be implemented thoughtfully and thoroughly. If so, the benefits of EBP can be realized by individuals who experience mental disorders, their families and friends, and the broader society.
