As states increasingly establish the importance of evidence-based practice through policy and funding mandates, the definition of evidence-based practice can have a significant impact on investment decisions. Not meeting established criteria can mean a loss of funding for established programs and the implementation disruption of programs without a strong research base. Whether the definition of "evidence-based" is influenced by these high stakes contexts is an interesting question that can inform the larger field about the value and utility of evidence-based practice lists/inventories for disseminating knowledge. In this paper we review the development of the Washington State Inventory of Evidence-Based, Research-Based and Promising Practices as a case study for the process of defining evidence-based practice in a policy context. As part of this study we also present a comparison of other well-known evidence-based practice inventories and examine consistencies and differences in the process of identifying and developing program ratings.
随着各州越来越多地通过政策和资金授权来确立循证实践的重要性，循证实践的定义可能会对投资决策产生重大影响。不符合既定标准可能意味着既定项目失去资金，以及缺乏坚实研究基础的项目实施中断。“循证”的定义是否受到这些高风险背景的影响，这是一个有趣的问题，它可以让更广泛的领域了解循证实践清单/目录在传播知识方面的价值和效用。在本文中，我们回顾了华盛顿州循证、基于研究和有前景实践目录的发展，作为在政策背景下定义循证实践过程的一个案例研究。作为本研究的一部分，我们还对其他知名的循证实践目录进行了比较，并考察了在确定和制定项目评级过程中的一致性和差异。
