从“如果我们想要更多基于证据的实践，我们需要更多基于实践的证据”这一命题开始，本文(a)为实践者、项目规划者和政策制定者提供了问题和指南，可以用来确定证据对其他情况和人群的适用性，而不是证据产生的情况和人群（概括性），(b)提出了审稿人可以用来评估外部有效性和概括潜力的标准，(c)建议从业者和项目规划者可以使用的程序，以适应基于证据的干预措施，并将其与人口和环境特征、理论和经验的证据整合到适合当地的项目中。这些问题、指南、标准和程序的开发和应用可以是提高研究对决策的相关性的一个步骤，并且应该支持创建和报告更多具有高外部有效性的基于实践的研究。
Starting with the proposition that "if we want more evidence-based practice, we need more practice-based evidence," this article (a) offers questions and guides that practitioners, program planners, and policy makers can use to determine the applicability of evidence to situations and populations other than those in which the evidence was produced (generalizability), (b) suggests criteria that reviewers can use to evaluate external validity and potential for generalization, and (c) recommends procedures that practitioners and program planners can use to adapt evidence-based interventions and integrate them with evidence on the population and setting characteristics, theory, and experience into locally appropriate programs. The development and application in tandem of such questions, guides, criteria, and procedures can be a step toward increasing the relevance of research for decision making and should support the creation and reporting of more practice-based research having high external validity.
