or this discussion post, I want you to get comfortable with evidence based practices and talking about the challenges with treatment delivery for women with an addiction. Pick an evidence-based practices from this list (Evidence-Based Practices in Mental Health) and talk about how it could be applied to the topic you have chose for your final research paper. Use this opportunity to get feedback and additional resources from your fellow classmates for a crucial section in your final paper.
- Describe your topic for your final research paper so that your classmates have an understanding of what you will be examining.
- Select an appropriate evidence based practice for your topic.
- Provide some scholarly support for why this EBP is appropriate for your topic/population.
- What does treatment availability look like? Is it an accessible option for all? Is it cost-prohibitive for some (or many)? How many sessions are required and is that feasible for all?
- Discuss some strengths of this EBP for your topic (for instance, your EBP could be a treatment that can be administered in an in-person and a virtual setting for those who can’t make it to a clinic or have concerns about doing so).
- Point out some weaknesses of this EBP for your topic (for example, a weakness could be that while the treatment is very effective and evidence based, it is a very lengthy treatment that could lead to low completion rates). This is the area that you can look to your classmates to gain some feedback, additional scholarly sources, and/or areas that you may have missed to address
