Evidence-based program registries (EBPRs) are web-based databases of evaluation studies that summarize the available evidence for the effectiveness of behavioral healthcare programs, including programs addressing substance misuse, mental health, child welfare, or offender rehabilitation. The study determined the extent to which visitors to selected EBPRs accomplished the objectives of their visits and how often those visits resulted in the adoption of new or improved evidence-based interventions (EBIs).
A follow-up telephone survey was conducted with 216 visitors to a convenience sample of six EBPRs an average of six months after the visitors' incident visit to the EBPR.
The most frequent objective was to identify evidence-based programs/services, curricula or assessments, followed by finding resources to implement or improve the preceding and writing a grant proposal including to comply with funding requirements; 71% of such objectives were achieved across the full set of objectives. Implementation of an EBI was completely achieved for 31% of relevant objectives and some progress on EBI implementation occurred for 19% of relevant objectives.
This is the first study to document the usage of EBPRs as a modality to increase the utilization of EBIs in the actual practice of behavioral healthcare. The results support the continued use of web-based EBPRs for disseminating information on evidence-based interventions for behavioral healthcare.
循证项目注册处（EBPR）是基于网络的评估研究数据库，用于总结行为健康护理计划（包括解决药物滥用、心理健康、儿童福利或罪犯康复问题的计划）有效性的现有证据。本研究旨在确定访问特定 EBPR 的访客在多大程度上实现了他们的访问目标，以及这些访问通常会导致采用新的或改进的循证干预措施（EBIs）的频率。
在访问 EBPR 后的平均六个月，对六个 EBPR 中的方便样本的 216 名访客进行了后续电话调查。
最常见的目标是确定循证计划/服务、课程或评估，其次是寻找实施或改进之前的资源，以及编写包括遵守资金要求的拨款提案；在所有目标中，有 71%的目标得到了实现。对于相关目标中的 31%，完全实现了 EBI 的实施，对于相关目标中的 19%，EBI 的实施取得了一些进展。
这是第一项记录 EBPR 作为一种增加行为健康护理中循证干预措施使用的方式的研究。研究结果支持继续使用基于网络的 EBPR 来传播行为健康护理循证干预措施的信息。
