Best Practice Resources

The SMVF TA Center also develops resources that highlight promising, best, and evidence-based practice resources across its network. These materials help stakeholders stay up to date on current evidence-based programs and practices for service members, veterans, and their families.

Best practice resources guide conscientious and explicit decision-making about the care of communities and populations by providing the best available scientific evidence. Practices are defined in the following ways:

  • Evidence-based Practice: A program, activity, or strategy with the highest degree of proven effectiveness via research and evaluation.
  • Best Practice: A program, activity, or strategy that has been shown to work effectively and produce successful outcomes, which includes field testing and limited evaluation.
  • Promising Practice: A program, activity, or strategy that has worked within one organization and shows promise for becoming a best practice.
