An Evidence-Based Practice Developed in-situ: Let’s Talk About Children and a Consolidation of Its Evidence Base
An Evidence-Based Practice Developed in-situ: Let’s Talk About Children and a Consolidation of Its Evidence Base
Traditional models of evidence-based practice assume knowledge is developed in research settings before being installed in practice settings. The role practice settings can play in enhancing effectiveness and enabling sustainability is not therefore acknowledged. Developing interventions in-situ alongside developing their evidence base, provides another pathway to evidence-based practice. One example is Let’s Talk about Children (LTC), a brief family-focused intervention that promotes parent, family and child wellbeing. Let’s Talk about Children has been developed and adapted to respond to the context into which it has been established, leading to different descriptions reported in its 20 year collection of evidence. Collating the diverse literature on LTC, this paper showcases an evidence-based practice developed in-situ in order to guide future innovation.
