As we launch or enhance our comprehensive AOD prevention and recovery programs, we often look toward replicating practices that have been demonstrated to be effective or promising based on prior research “right out of the box.” However, as each of our campuses is unique, it is important to tailor existing evidence-based practices (EBPs) and evidence-informed practices (EIPs) to meet the needs of our own student populations and assess whether they are working in our specific settings. This workshop will explore the differences between evidence-based practices and evidence-informed practices, highlight how we might adapt and build capacity to implement these strategies, and evaluate whether our EBPs and EIPs are working in our settings. Additionally, we will focus on tools to address implementation challenges and help our campus colleagues better understand the importance of integrating EBPs and EIPs in our work and evaluating their effectiveness at our own institutions.
Learning Objectives
- Define evidence-based practices and evidence-informed practices.
- Identify two ways to adapt existing evidence-based and evidence-informed practices to meet specific campus needs
- Identify two strategies to build capacity to implement evidence-based and evidence-informed practices on campus.
- Articulate two methods for evaluating whether evidence-based and evidence-informed practices are working in our specific settings!
- Identify two tools to address potential resistance to the implementation of evidence-based and evidence-informed practices on our campuses and promote buy-in for our efforts.
