With regard to actual utilization of evidence-based clinical practice, reports indicate that health care professionals tend to rely more on traditional sources of information, including clinical experience and the opinions of colleagues, even when they exhibit positive attitudes toward evidence-based practice.

• Jette et al. (2003) found that 46% of the physical therapists responding to their survey identified a lack of time as the most important barrier, and almost 67% ranked it among the top three barriers to evidence-based practice.

• Occupational therapist expressed frustration due to the lack of access to appropriate resources, insufficient time, and a lack of skills needed to perform computerized literature searches. These investigators noted that therapists also mentioned economic, administrative and inter professional barriers to integrating new knowledge.

• Worrall and Bennett (2001) discussed several potential barriers to evidence-based practice that might particularly limit speech-language pathologists. These included databases that lack critical journals from the field of communication disorders, a lack of evidence or high level evidence in specific areas, mismatches between evidence and the reality of clinical services, and the lack of a database of critically appraised topics (short summaries of best evidence) in speech-language pathology
