This chapter presents a rationale for developing and implementing comprehensive, multi-tiered interventions to reduce behavior problems in schools, and catalogs an array of empirically supported strategies and programs at each intervention level (i.e., primary/universal, secondary/targeted, and tertiary/remedial) designed to meet the needs of students while also meeting the unique needs of an individual school district in the most effective, pragmatic, and cost-efficient manner possible. It also discusses widely used school security measures that have not been empirically supported in improving school climate or reducing student behavior problems and makes a series of recommendations for improving the ways in which school discipline data are collected and reported to the general public.Less

Evidence-based practice in school mental health explains the nuts and bolts of infusing research throughout school-based practice following guidelines set forth by the US Department of Education. In clear, step-by-step detail, it provides the conceptual tools needed to locate, evaluate, and apply evidence in order to demonstrate positive outcomes for students. With its case examples and exercises, this book offers a pragmatic approach to informing practice decisions with appropriate research to ensure that students receive the best service. The chapters amount to an easy-to-follow road map to evidence-based practice (EBP), explaining how to ask the right questions; search for evidence; appraise the literature while avoiding the pitfalls of web-based information; adapt and apply evidence in a developmentally and culturally sensitive way; and evaluate the results. Detailed examples from practice and adaptable sample spreadsheets to evaluate students' progress make the goal of accountability attainable for school professionals who otherwise would struggle to find the time, resources, and support to utilize research in their work.Less

There is agreement among researchers and policy makers that child welfare services have been slow to effectively implement ESIs. The authors argue that ‘implementation matters’ and present empirical evidence for the impact of high quality implementation on program outcomes. The chapter examines a variety of issues that make implementation a complex and difficult endeavour in child welfare settings. The authors discuss ways to improve implementation through the use of common elements of interventions and supporting planned and appropriate adaptation of interventions in the service setting, as well as utilizing frameworks of implementation to guide implementation efforts. Finally, the authors identify critical components of implementation such as staff recruitment and selection, staff training and support, intervention and related staff evaluation.Less

In this global world, many Evidence Supported Interventions (ESI’s) developed in one country are transported to many others. With a successive increase in the number of imported ESI’s, there are several empirical examples of failures of outcome studies to replicate some ESIs’ original benefits. The chapter describes possible reasons of these failures, such as differences in research design, cultural adaptations, and differences in service systems. The authors review the The Planned Intervention Adaptation (PIA) Protocol to guide cultural adaptation of ESI’s and reviews contextual variables that may promote a successful ESI transfer. Finally, the chapter suggests how to include culture in intervention outcome studies, particularly effectiveness trials of imported interventions.Less
