evidence-based behavioral medicine  

Definition

  • Evidence-based behavioral medicine (EBBM) is the conscientious review and application of previous literature on behavioral interventions to current practice. Interest in EBBM grew out of the evidence-based medicine movement in the medical sciences that began in Canada about 10 years ago and is now an international effort (Sackett, Straus, Richardson, Rosenberg, & Haynes, 2000).
