Evidence-Based approaches work well when several steps are taken into consideration;

1. An introduction to evidence-based programs, practices and policies (EBP's) that includes its development, compelling reason with regard to outcomes for its adoption;
2. Fidelitous components which make it up;
3. Method of Practice;
4. Skills training;
5. Continuing Observation, coaching and feedback.

This San Diego program on Evidence-Based Programs, Practices and Policies (EBP) takes these challenges into account! It provides the knowledge transfer that is the foundation for implementing and practice. It does this by training on these 5 steps and from three views; "the Organization and its People", "Programs Implementation", and "Supervision in Evidence-based Settings".  View abstracts describing the sessions in greater detail.

Often agencies attempt to develop internal trainers through Train the Trainer Programs.  The degree to which this is actually useful is the degree to which they provide all of these contingencies listed.

In general, very little in skill enhancement happens at your typical workshop/conference type training or presentation! They mostly serve to provide the peer interactivity, information sharing and knowledge transfer that is the foundation agencies have to have to get clear on how they stack up against others, where to go next and how.  Most programs are not equipped to do much more than that. Compounding the challenge is the fact many agencies on the one hand already intuitively apply the common elements of evidence-based programs, practices and policies (EBP). Therefore, when they attend a conference or training, they must sit through parts of a curriculum featuring content in which they already have a high degree of skill.  As a result it is not unusual to lack the intensity to adequately address areas where they have needs.  In addition, the curriculum is typically not designed from ascertainment of existing skills and so runs the risk of “under” addressing areas where there is a need for development while teaching over top of areas already in place.

On the other hand agencies determine the evidence-based approaches, a number of staff are pulled off-line at great expense and sent to a training location where they bombarded with hundreds of workshops for this and for that.  The agencies then rely on the knowledge transfer to take place and rely on the staff who attended to return and apply the method.  The research shows this is not efficient and wont work well either.
