(manualised programs) sometimes called Evidence based Models (EBMs) are a structured package of practice elements or modules that have been combined into a clearly defined program including specifications for implementation. They are empirically supported by control trial evidence, demonstrating a link between program actions and outcomes for their intended client group.
is a holistic approach to service design and delivery, incorporating the best research evidence with client values and practice expertise. Being evidence-informed means working with clients to identify their goals and selecting the program models, strategies and practices that will work best to achieve these. It is a process of continuous learning, reflection and review based on unique service contexts and clients.
are the factors that come together to give program implementation momentum. Key drivers at a competency, organisational and leadership level include staff selection, training and coaching, internal administrative and data systems, and funding and motivation.
is the scientific study of methods to promote the uptake of evidence to improve the quality of service provision. It is about making sure that an organisation’s routine practices align with evidence-informed practice and about understanding what supports or hinders the uptake of proven programs and practices.
is an action or set of actions taken by the practitioner or program that seeks to mitigate or prevent an unwanted situation.
use statistical approaches that combine the results of multiple scientific studies to strengthen understanding of a topic or issue by deriving conclusions about the body of research associated with it in a systematic way.
NVR is the avoidance of physical or verbal violence, that involves asserting a position on issues of risk-taking, antisocial behaviours, and violence. The purpose of this technique in relation to AVITH is to re-establish a position of parental presence in the young person’s life that has the potential to develop into a good relationship between the young person and parent.

The changes or benefits we expect to see as a result of implementing certain activities or interventions. Outcomes are often divided into long, medium and short-term and refer to changes for clients, communities and systems. Additionally, ‘implementation outcomes’ aim to articulate and measure the extent to which a program or practice is implemented successfully.
recognises that each client is unique with their own complex needs and desires and places a client’s own values and knowledge at the centre of decision making.
