Evidence-based practice has become a common expression in the helping professions over the last decade. Beginning with medicine and moving to fi elds such as psychology and social work, the number of books on evidencebased practice has grown signifi cantly. What makes this book different? This book is aimed at preservice and in-service school-based mental health service providers, such as school counselors, school psychologists, and school social workers. It is not a research book. It is a book about research-infused practice. What does this mean? It means that this book aims to give school service providers a pragmatic approach to informing every major practice decision with the appropriate research.
