Evidence Based Program Databases: a Tool for Modern Prevention and Rehabilitation
Abstract
Introduction: The search for effective methods of conducting preventive and rehabilitation interventions is one of the main tasks for educators and other professionals working in this practice area today. One of the tools that can help achieve this goal is the databases of evidence-based programs. They are a reservoir of research-proven proposals for the conduct of activities. They are also becoming an essential space for the exchange of experiences and a source of change. However, they are not free of dysfunctions and problems.
Research Aim: The aim of the research undertaken is, on the one hand, to popularise the idea of evidence-based prevention program bases and, on the other hand, to reflect on their functioning with an analysis of their risks and potentials. The text also attempts to answer how to change program bases and programs to make them as reliable and effective as possible.
Evidence-based Facts: Research on evidence-based program bases and the programs has a history of almost thirty years. This research has proven to be a kind of 'milestone,' which is not to say that it has not revealed all sorts of problems. There is an ongoing discussion in the literat ure in this area relating to the databases' content and functionality.
Summary: Raising awareness of the importance of evidence-based measures, popularising the bases of scientifically verified programs, and improving their functionality are becoming key phrases for rehabilitation and prevention educators today.
