Abstract

Demand for the use of evidence-based interventions (EBI) to address behavioral health issues remains high in the United States. States are primarily tasked with determining what constitutes EBIs on a state-by-state basis. This results in variations in what constitutes an EBI across states. The study’s purpose is to determine the different ways in which state mandates for EBIs operationalize the concept of EBI, including the different levels of evidence that are required. The EBI mandates of 8 states were purposively selected for this study based on their Pew Charitable Trusts rating of EBI implementation.
