- Abstract
A cross sectional UK-wide survey assessed current levels of dissemination and implementation of Evidence-Based Practice (EBP) in social care and social work agencies. A structured questionnaire was e-mailed to 357 agencies of which 155 (43.4%) completed and returned it. Although the results show that EBP in this area is still in its early stages, most respondents reported a good knowledge of EBP as well as the view that professional decisions should be informed by --but not only-- research evidence. Lack of time, resources, information and training are identified as the main barriers to be overcome for an effective implementation of EBP in the social services.
