Q1. Types of Primary Research-
https://www.asha.org/Research/EBP/Research-Designs/

Q2.  Evidence based Practice is defined as the integration of 
  • clinical expertise/expert opinion
  • external scientific evidence
  • client/patient/caregiver perspectives.
When these are considered it allows evidence based decisions and give high quality service in regards to interests, values, needs, and choices of individuals with communication disorders.
Process: 
  1. 1. Frame your clinical question 
  2. 2. Find Evidence
  3. 3. Assess your evidence
  4. 4. Make your clinical decision. 

Q3. How They Review Research-
Use of Secondary Research-combines findings of primary research and provides conclusions.
1. Systematic Reviews use systematic methods to search for and create a body of evidence to answer a research or clinical question about the effectiveness of an assessment or treatment approach.
  • Qualitative conclusions based on the included studies.
2. Meta-Analyses use systematic and statistical methods to answer a research or clinical question about a specific assessment or treatment approach
  • Quantitative conclusions (ex: pooled effect size, confidence interval) to decide the overall treatment effect or effect size across studies.

Q4. Ways to Use to Locate EBP-
  • View Evidence Maps- can see various articles-see external scientific evidence, clinical expertise, and client perspective.
  • Compare research to implement your own EBP.
  • Find/learn about appraisal tools, bias, and levels of evidence.
  • Evidence-Based Systematic Reviews for cognition, fluency, hearing, language, speech, swallowing, voice, and service delivery. 
  • Information on how to search for EBP effectively. 
  • Information on how to understand their research designs and external scientific evidence.

  • Meta-Analysis (with these standards)- 
  • Programs compared to control group
  • Random or matched
    Control group within + .5 SD of experimental group at pretest 
  • Post-tests adjusted for pretests
  • Measures are not inherent to treatment
  • Duration at least 12 weeks

    Criteria for Best Evidence Encyclopedia
    1. "Consider all studies in their area, and carry out an exhaustive search for all studies that meet well-justified standards of methodological quality and relevance to the issue being reviewed.

    2. Present quantitative summaries of evidence on the effectiveness of programs or practices used with children in grades K-12, focusing on achievement outcomes.

    3. Focus on studies comparing programs to control groups, with random assignment to conditions or matching on pretests or other variables that indicate that experimental and control groups were equivalent before the treatments began.

    4. Summarize program outcomes in terms of effect sizes (experimental-control differences divided by the standard deviation) as well as statistical significance.

    5. Focus on studies that took place over periods of at least 12 weeks, to avoid brief, artificial laboratory studies.

    6. Focus on studies that used measures that assessed the content studied by control as well as experimental students, to avoid studies that used measures inherent to the experimental treatment".

Q2. "Evidence-based practices are "meta-analyses or other quantitative syntheses that apply consistent, scientific standards to bodies of evidence that both meet high standards of methodological quality and evaluate realistic implementations of programs currently available to educators."

Q3. How They Review Research-
Program Evaluation Synthesis-
Look at:
 1. Effect Size- Difference between experimental and control groups.
2. Statistical Significance- Positive or negative outcome for the study?
3. Number of Studies- How many have positive outcomes vs. negative?
4. Research Design- Does it follow criteria and standards?

Q4- Ways to Use to Locate EBP- 
  • Program Overviews-" including evidence of effectiveness ratings, program descriptions, links to full reports, and contact information"
  • Different Categories to Search- math, reading, science, school reform, and early childhood.
  • Have someone come in for PD.
  • Compare to the criteria for EBP to your EBP.
  •  Check the evidence or effectiveness rating for their current program
  • For educators who are choosing a new program and want to see if and how the program was rated across topics.
