A Guide to Implementing Evidence-Based Programs and Policies
Policymakers and funders are increasingly asking for research evidence about programs and services aimed at children and families.

This brief summarizes a longer Social Policy Report by Robert B. McCall, Co-Director of the University of Pittsburgh Office of Child Development and Professor of Psychology.
