According to the APA (2005), “evidence-based practice in psychology (EBPP) is the integration of the best available research with clinical experience in the context of characteristics, culture, and preferences."

Apply evidence by engaging in collaborative health decision making with affected individuals and/or groups. Appropriate decision making integrates the context, values ​​and preferences of the care recipient, as well as available resources, including professional skills.5. Evaluate the outcome and disseminate the results. This approach has been adapted to behavioral studies in the field of clinical medicine. The approach is supposed to be an alternative to other forms of evidence such as opinion, advice, prejudice, fallacy, professional myths or advocacy.
