Evidence-based assessment (EBA) is a critically important aspect of delivering high-quality, school-based mental health care for youth. However, research in this area is limited and additional applied research on how best to support the implementation of EBA in school mental health (SMH) is needed. Accordingly, this manuscript seeks to facilitate the advancement of research on EBA in SMH by reviewing relevant literature on EBA implementation in schools and providing recommendations for key research priorities. Given the limited number of published studies available, findings from child and adolescent mental health and implementation science research are also included to inform a robust and comprehensive research agenda on this topic. Based on this literature review, five priorities for research on EBA in SMH are outlined: (1) effective identification of assessment targets, (2) appropriate selection of assessment measures, (3) investigation of organizational readiness for EBA, (4) study of implementation support for EBA, and (5) promotion of EBA data integration and use. Each priority area includes recommended directions for future research. A comprehensive and robust research agenda is warranted to build the science and practice of implementing EBA in SMH. Specific directions for this agenda are offered.
循证评估（EBA）是为青少年提供高质量的校内心理健康服务的一个至关重要的方面。然而，该领域的研究有限，需要开展更多关于如何最好地支持在学校心理健康（SMH）中实施循证评估的应用研究。因此，本手稿旨在通过回顾学校中循证评估实施的相关文献并为关键研究重点提供建议，来推动学校心理健康循证评估的研究进展。鉴于已发表的研究数量有限，儿童和青少年心理健康以及实施科学研究的结果也被纳入，以为该主题制定一个全面且有力的研究议程提供参考。基于此文献综述，概述了学校心理健康循证评估研究的五个重点：（1）有效识别评估目标；（2）恰当选择评估措施；（3）调查组织对循证评估的准备情况；（4）研究循证评估的实施支持；（5）促进循证评估数据的整合与使用。每个重点领域都包括未来研究的推荐方向。需要一个全面且有力的研究议程来构建在学校心理健康中实施循证评估的科学与实践。本文提供了该议程的具体方向。
