Self-Help Groups 12 Step fellowships (Alcoholics Anonymous, Narcotics Anonymous) GROW Schizophrenia Fellowship

The Need for Evidence Informs treatment options Informs resource allocation Informs government policy and funding priorities

The Need for Evidence NICS (Australia) National Registry of Evidence-based Programs and Practices and AHRQ (US) NICE (UK) SIGN (Scotland)

The Need for Evidence Researchers “having clearly defined outcomes provides a common language across disciplines” Funding bodies “funding is an ongoing issue – more and more we are being asked to provide evidence our service is effective and having an impact” Service providers “it would be good to recognise some of the more subtle impacts our programs achieve”

Challenges Ensuring youth-friendly approach Time and resource restraints Knowledge/skill-base in staff Knowledge/skill-base in young people Measuring long-term/intangible outcomes

Interest in scientific research Inappropriate methodologies Inappropriate research methods Identifying service delivery standards Terminology Challenges

Interest Group Identify best / promising practices Continue debate on evidence Review standards Opportunities to test best practice Disseminate information Peer support
